It will be a big surprise if this match ends in anything other than a home win. The team managed by André Villas-Boas had occasional hiccups this season, but their home record is solid and they must do well to bag all three points here.

The odds on home win is at around 1.55 and this is a decent price considering Amiens had struggled on the road throughout this campaign.

As an alternate bet, we take the home side to score 2 or more goals, since they netter over 1.5 goals against Amiens in each of the four previous Ligue 1 meetings before last October’s defeat.
