Expect Le Puy to set up in a solid 4-4-2, the classic lower-league shape that's all about discipline and directness. They'll sit in a mid-block, stay compact, and look to hit Amiens on the break. The two strikers will feed off scraps, but they'll be relentless in chasing down loose balls. Amiens, on the other hand, will likely line up in a 4-2-3-1, trying to control possession and play through the thirds. But here's the thing: Amiens' double pivot can be bypassed if Le Puy press with intensity. The home side will look to force turnovers in midfield and spring quick attacks down the flanks.

The key battle will be in the wide areas. Le Puy's full-backs will have to be disciplined against Amiens' wide runners, but they'll also get chances to bomb forward when the away side overcommits. Amiens' number ten will try to find pockets of space between the lines, but if Le Puy's midfield stays tight, that space will be closed off. Set pieces could be Le Puy's best friend — they'll win corners and free-kicks, and with their physical strikers, they'll fancy their chances from dead balls. This is a game that could be decided by one moment of chaos, and we back the home side to thrive in that chaos.
