Obligatory victory?
After conceding its fifth defeat in six trips, Amiens is once again obliged to react at home, with invincibility still at stake. And the obligation to achieve a result is all the greater as it is bottom of the league. of the championship which comes to the Unicorn this Friday. If Martigues has already won two away matches (Annecy, Clermont), Thierry Laurey's men nevertheless remain the ideal opponent to restart the machine and thus allow the Amiens to remain clinging to the wagon of contenders at the top table.

Favorite elf in Boya?
After opting for a more defensive midfielder at Dunkirk, Senegal should reintroduce Rayan Lutin in the starting lineup. On the form of the moment and in view of adversity, this should push on the bench Frank BoyaKylian Kaiboue being on a very good dynamic and Owen Gene being considered valuable in the release of the ball. Defensively, stability should be the order of the day despite the three goals conceded in the North.

Omar Daf takes Martigues very seriously
“If they are in this division, it is because they deserve it. There is no debate about that. It's a very successful away team, which won at Clermont. We respect them, we have studied them well. We have to work on our game plan, our strategy, keep our philosophy. The weeks are difficult and are not the same, but we must take into account that this team is performing well away from home. You have to be very careful. There must not be any form of relaxation because we play last, telling ourselves that it is affordable, that we have already taken the three points. You can count on us not to underestimate anyone, to take this match very seriously. »
