Le Gym travels to Amiens tonight (8 PM) with the aim of securing their first away victory. Facing a newly promoted team that has yet to score this season in Ligue 1, caution is advised against a potential trap.
Mario Balotelli’s teammates have only won 3 of their last 13 away games in Ligue 1 (7 draws, 3 losses). We have to go back to March 26, 2002, to find a competitive match between Amiens & Nice. It was in Ligue 2, and the Aiglons won 3-0 thanks to Aulanier & Ayeli (x2).
Mario Balotelli (ill) and Mika Seri (rested) will not be participating in this encounter. On the Picardy side, Mathieu Bodmer, a former Nice player, will not be present due to a calf injury.
