Amiens vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (11 August)

On a descending slope for a few years, Amiens no longer seems to have the means to settle among the favorites for the rise in the elite. Obliged to reduce the sail on the financial level, the residents of the unicorn had to settle for a place in the soft belly in the ranking last season by finishing in 11th position of the classification, far behind the qualified teams for the play-offs. Little success during their summer preparation, the Picards are not reassured after their inaugural victory won against Fleury 2-0, promoted in National. They were indeed severely beaten by Lille 5-0, hung by Boulogne sur Mer 2-2 and defeated by the Red Star 0-2 then finally by Bastia 4-2 on Saturday 2 August. Reims, for its part, experienced a terrible end of the season last May. Beaten by PSG in the final of the French Cup 3-0, the residents of Auguste Delaune collapsed in the league by taking only 16th final place in the classification for a small point.

Opposed to Metz in dams, the Champenois had drew on the first 1-1 before losing after extension on return at home 1-3. Consequently, the Rémois were therefore relegated to Ligue 2 for the first time since 2018. This summer, the men of Karel Geraerts had started their preparation rather well with successes against the Zulte Waregem 5-2 and Boulogne sur Mer 1-0. But they then encountered more difficulty by bowing against Louvain 0-1, FC93 1-2, Yagamata 1-0 and Reysol. The Stade de Reims, on the other hand, ended its preparation well, and in particular its Japan Tour, by a victory against the Gamba Osaka on Saturday August 2 1-2. 

There were a few movements to report during the transfer window on the Picard side. Indeed, the defenders Jaouab (Rennes, loan return) and Barry (Paris 13 Atlético), the lateral vita (Fortuna Sittard, return from loan) and Corchia (AS Cannes), the emblematic porter Gurtner (Lens) and the goals Mafouta (9 goals, 4 passes, Guingamp) all left the club. The young Mbaye (5 goals) returned to Metz. As for arrivals, we first pointed out only those of the young lateral Louis (Paris FC B) and the AVERLANT MOTAIN (Boulogne), or the loan of the Appiah striker (Nacional/Almeria) but Amiens has accelerated in recent days on the market. The signature of the defender Messin Aboubacar Lô is official and that of the very experienced goalkeeper Bernardoni (past by Troyes, Bordeaux, Clermont, Nîmes, Angers and Saint-Etienne) is being formalized. The precious Leautey (10 goals, 4 assists) is still there. In Reims, the Brazilian environment Moscardo (PSG) and the lateral butta (Eintracht Frankfurt) saw their loan period end and they returned to their respective club.

In addition, the porter Diouf (Nice), the Bloodui (Paris FC), Fall (Fredrikstad) and Kipré (Ipswich) and the Koné (Neom SC) were also discovered other projects. In the opposite direction, the Champagne leaders attracted the veteran Pallois (Nantes), the seasoned environment Demoncy (Annecy). Also note the loan return of the porter Jaouen (Dunkirk) and that of the Salama striker (Torino). Covenous, the Japanese striker Nakamura (11 goals) and his compatriots Ito (4 goals, 3 assists) are still in the workforce for the moment. Same thing for the Diakity striker (4 goals).
