SC Amiens (home)
- SC Amiens (16th) welcome 11th-placed Pau FC on Friday in what should be an interesting Ligue 2 clash between two teams with contrasting styles of play.
- Amiens are having a disappointing season, having taken just 24 points from their 29 Ligue 2 matches to date.
- The Picardie club have failed to win any of their last five matches, recording one draw and four defeats.
- They are winless in their last two at home, including a 3-4 defeat to Le Mans, and their recent run also includes a 1-0 away loss to Guingamp and a 1-1 draw at SC Bastia.
- Amiens typically line up in a compact shape with a low-to-medium press, which should be good for avoiding mistakes in their own box, but they don’t have a lot to show for their efforts going forward.
- Teddy Averlant leads the scoring for the hosts with 5 goals in 28 Ligue 2 appearances this season.
Pau FC (away)
- Pau FC have been much more consistent this season, taking 39 points from their 29 games to date and occupying 11th place in the table.
- Thierry Debes has been in charge of Pau FC since January 24th 2026 and appears to have settled on a structure and style of play that has been very productive.
- The Bears build up play from the back and press well in transition to try to dominate possession.
- Giovani Versini is their main goal threat, topping their Ligue 2 scoring chart with 9 goals in 28 league appearances.
Head-to-Head
- The last time these two clubs met in Ligue 2 was three months ago and Amiens ran out 2-1 winners away from home.
- Amiens have won only two of their 14 home games in Ligue 2 this campaign, drawing three and losing nine, while Pau FC have six wins, four draws and four defeats from their 14 away matches.
- Amiens tend to set up in a low block, but Pau will try to play on the front foot.
- Amiens have scored 16 goals in 14 home matches in this Ligue 2 campaign, while Pau FC have conceded 24 times in their 14 road games.
Key Players
- Teddy Averlant - 5 goals in 28 Ligue 2 appearances.
- Giovani Versini - 9 goals in 28 league appearances.
