Nancy vs Amiens Predictions

• Nancy’s last two French Cup games required extra time.
• Both teams scored in five of Amiens’ last six away games.
• Three of the last four H2Hs held in Nancy saw both teams score.

Can the giant killers keep it up?

It is simply remarkable what Nancy have done in this competition, knocking out two Ligue 1 outfits in consecutive rounds, including European participants Rennes and top-flight new boys Troyes. Both of those games required extra time, though the Ligue 2 strugglers eventually obliged.

What makes this even more impressive is the fact that Nancy are fully embroiled in a relegation battle in the league, they prop up the rest of the table and are seven points from safety at the time of writing. However, they look a different proposition in the Coupe De France.

Mediocre Amiens know their opponents well

This game perhaps serves as a more welcome distraction for Amiens, who look set for a mid table finish in the league. Their last appearance in the round of 16 saw Amiens progress via a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw, a result that they will happily take once again.

Four of Amiens’ last five Coupe De France games saw both teams score and given that the league season is slowly slipping away, I predict that both teams will score in a battle between two similarly struggling sides. This game could easily go the distance following a 1-1 stalemate.
