Competition: Ligue 2
Market: Le Mans win
Odds: 3/5 @ Pribet
Looking to find a route into the play-off places on Friday night, Le Mans will welcome relegation scrappers Amiens to the Stade Marie-Marvingt.
Starting with the hosts, while Le Mans might have only made their Ligue 2 return this season, Les Mucistes have embarked on a real fairytale. Only continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across France’s second-tier, Patrick Videira’s side are riding a major wave of momentum. Last seen in Ligue 2 action securing an impressive 2-1 victory away at Pau FC, they have now won all of their previous three appearances across all competitions. Despite enduring a stuttering start to proceedings back in August, Le Mans have come roaring back in some style. In fact, last seen extending on their Coupe de France adventure as they edged past Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Friday’s hosts are remarkably unbeaten in all of their last 12 consecutive outings – a purple patch that stems all the way back to September 12th. Smelling another potential opportunity this weekend, Videira’s side can astonishingly find a route into the play-off places here. It should also be highlighted, Les Mucistes have not conceded a single strike at the Stade Marie-Marvingt in over 270 minutes of action.
As for the visitors, left frustrated last season as they eventually had to settle for a bottom-half finish, Amiens have once again shown some real cause for concern this time around. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Omar Daf’s men are at the heart of a relegation scrap and the pressure is certainly mounting on the former Dijon boss. Last seen in Ligue 2 action slumping to a 2-1 defeat at home against Guingamp, the Unicorns should be bracing themselves for another tricky test this weekend. In fact, signing off October with a routine 3-1 defeat at the hands of Troyes, Amiens have now lost all of their previous four consecutive Ligue 2 appearances by an aggregate score of 10-5. Showing some worrying defensive issues, Friday’s guests are enduring their longest winless rut of the 2025/26 campaign. Getting November underway with an action-packed 3-2 defeat at home against Grenoble, Amiens have also lost three of their previous four second-tier showdowns away from the Stade de la Licorne.
