A week after his victory (3-1) against Niort, Amiens SC aims for a second victory in a row in Rodez during the 25th day of Ligue 2. If the two teams are tied with 29 points in the standings, they are not in the same dynamic since Rodez remains on seven games without a win including six without having scored a single goal.
Hinschberger: “String together two victories”
“Rodez is in a crisis of results having trouble scoring goals and winning his matches but when you go there you have to expect commitment and fighting spirit” warns Amiens coach Philippe Hinschberger. “They always attack in number, create chances in each game, and it’s not because they are lacking in success that they are not able to score against us. We have to overcome this pitfall to improve our victories at home and already launch a series of two victories, which we have hardly done this season except in December against Dunkirk and Grenoble.“
Fofana: “We can do great things”
Amiens SC, which has won away only once in the league this season (2-0 at Guingamp on August 14) will also seek to travel better to pass the 30 point mark and finally integrate the first part of the ranking. “In case of victory this match can make us switch to another caliber“says Malian defender Mamadou Fofana. “There are 14 matches left, we know we can still do great things, we are on the right track!“
With Bamba, without Lomotey
To do this, Amiens will again bet on the efficiency of his Senegalese striker Aliou Badji (10 goals), author last week of his fourth double of the season. Striker Kader Bamba, injured against Niort, will be on the trip to Aveyron. On the other hand, the midfield Emmanuel Lomotey, waiting for a happy event, was allowed to join his wife in Ghana. Chadrac Akolo and Eddy Gnahoré were uncertain.
