It has been a very quick turnaround in games for these two. Amiens earned a credible home draw with Monaco just on Friday night. Now they have to pick themselves back up and go again on Monday to face Lille. Lille were also in action on Friday night as they eased themselves to a good home win over St Etienne and after the season they have had, that was much needed. Can they keep their new found form going? Lille are 8/5 to take the win, with home side Amiens at 19/10.

Lille LoscAmiens Form
Amiens are just above the drop zone in Ligue 1 but they are level on points with Lille. This is interesting because of it being a basement scrap pretty much. Amiens are on a three-match drawing streak of form now after playing out a 1- 1 draw with second-placed Monaco on Friday. That was a good result and it leaves them unbeaten in four now (W1 D3). Each of the draws in that sequence have been a 1-1 scoreline, so a 1-1 correct score option isn’t outside of the box at a 5/1 poke. Amiens are a low-scoring side, having netted only five home goals in five games all season. Only bottom side Metz has scored fewer than the eight goals they have managed this season in total.
Lille Form
Lille have started to turn things around a bit with back to back wins under their belt. They beat top-six side St Etienne 3-1 at home on Friday night and the six points from those two games are as many as they had managed over their first ten games of the season. They hold a W3 D3 L6 record in the French top flight but their away form is a little worrying. They have gone W1 D1 L3 on their travels and their only success was at bottom side Metz in their most recent road game. It does mean that in all three wins they have managed this season, they have scored exactly three goals in each. They only have four goals in total away from home though having failed to score in three of their five.
Head to Head News
Not too much history between them and this will actually be the first league meeting between the pair. The only previous meetings happen in the French Cup, with Lille winning both games away from home against Amiens in 2014 and in 2016.
Top Betting Tips
The draw has to be a seriously-considered option in this. Amiens are at least being difficult to beat and one away win over Metz is nothing that Lille can be celebrating. A share of the spoils between two clubs sat on the same points for the season? It looks a decent wager.
