Betting on Lorient
Lorient has played 23 Ligue 1 matches, and it has generally attained good results. From these matchdays, the team has accumulated 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, adding up a total of 36 points. In terms of goals, it has scored 35 goals, but it has also scored against the same number, so the team has 0 goal difference. If Lorient wins this match, it could move up one place in the standings to be tied with Rennes.
However, taking a closer look at the team’s recent results in Ligue 1, its last five matches have been a shaky back-and-forth affair. The team has won one home game (2-1 against Rennes), drawn one home game (0-0 against Angers) and lost three away games (3-1 against Marseille; 4-2 against Reims; 1-0 against Nantes). Also, it managed to score five goals, however, these goals were scored in the oldest matches, and the team has not been able to score in two matchdays.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Vito Mannone; Gedeon Kalulu, Montassar Talbi, Darline Yongwa; Jean-Victor Makengo, Stéphane Diarra, Julien Ponceau, Enzo Le Fée; Bamo Meïté, Ibrahima Kone, Yoann Cathline.
Betting on AC Ajaccio
Ajaccio, on the other hand, has not had better luck than its opponents. This team is in 18th position in the Ligue 1 standings facing relegation, which it immediately qualifies for. In 23 matchdays the team has won 5 matches, drawn 3 and lost 15. Ajaccio has also scored 18 goals, but it has allowed enough goals for a total of -24 in goal difference. The team has 18 points, and it is tied with Strasbourg and Auxerre. If it wins this match against Lorient, it could be able to move away from the relegation places and move up four positions in the standings.
However, this is a difficult task as its last five matches have been a real nightmare. While the team won one away match against Angers (1-2), it also lost four matches with incredibly unfavorable scorelines: 7-1 to Monaco, 0-2 to Lyon, 0-2 to Nantes, and 3-0 to Nice. Thus, the team has scored only three goals in these dates, and almost all the matches ended with a clean sheet.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Benjamin Leroy; Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Cedric Avinel; Mickaël Alphonse, Cyrille Bayala, Clement Vidal, Florian Chabrolle, Mickaël Barreto; Mounaim El Idrissy, Riad Nouri.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Ajaccio’s desperate need for a win, we believe it has no chance of defeating Lorient. The latter beats them in goal conversion as well as in number of matches won, so in the Lorient vs Ajaccio Ligue 1 clash we believe the home team will come out on top.
Prediction: Lorient win 2-1.
