Ligue 2
These two Ligue 2 teams have played each other eight times in all competitions since 2011. Reims have the upper hand, having won three times and kept two clean sheets during that period. Amiens have won twice, while three games have ended in a draw. However, one of Les Licornes' two victories came at this stadium in 2018, when they won 4–1. An average of three goals per game were scored during that period.
Amiens team overview
The hosts experienced a dip in form last season, finishing in eleventh place, and made very little amends for that during the pre-season.
Omar Daf’s men won just one of their four friendlies, losing two and drawing one. They also shipped eight goals in the process.
Les Licornes will be looking to turn things around on Monday, but history is not really on their side, having failed to win any of their last three meetings with Reims.
Another setback for boss Omar Daf is the absence of Nordine Kandil and Kylian Kaïboue, both of whom are dealing with knee injuries.

Reims team overview
Meanwhile, Reims were relegated from the top flight at the end of last season after losing the play-offs against Metz 3:1 on aggregate.
Samba Diawara’s side responded well with back-to-back wins in friendlies against Zulte Waregem and Boulogne, but then suffered a series of defeats.
Les Rouges et Blancs suffered three consecutive defeats before wrapping up their pre-season campaign with a 2:1 win over Gamba Osaka last weekend.
The trip to the Stade de la Licorne comes too soon for Reda Khadra, Mohamed Daramy, Amine Salama and Adama Bojang, all of whom missed the pre-season due to injury.

Prediction
With both sides having had inconsistent pre-seasons, it’s difficult to pick a clear winner, so we’re expecting an entertaining or high-scoring draw. The visitors have only kept one clean sheet in their last 13 games across all competitions, while the hosts have kept as many in their last eight matches. Given that recent meetings between the two sides have also been entertaining, I am backing the 'over 2.5 goals' option.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Four of the last five meetings between Amiens and Reims ended with over 2.5 goals.
- All the last three competitive games of Reims ended with three or more goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in five of the last six home games of Amiens.
