Ajaccio Preview
Ajaccio has spent most of the tournament at the bottom of Ligue 1, but the team has had an improvement, and we thought that L’ours were going to escape relegation. Still, after going three matches undefeated, in which they won two important matches, they went back to their old ways.
The team has now lost three matches in a row, and it is back in the bottom of the standings, getting worse with every match played. As an example, there is the last league match in which Monaco broke their goal. The Ajaccio team fell 7-1, and there is no way to rescue anyone’s performance from the team.
Coach Olivier Pantaloni said he is confident that his players will get back on their feet, but he already has an ultimatum: another loss would mean he would have to step down as head coach. Now, the team hosts a hurting Lyon, so the match will be quite difficult.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): François-Joseph Sollacaro; Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Cedric Avinel, Mickael Alphonse; Cyrille Bayala, Florian Charbrolle, Thomas Mangani, Riad Nouri; Jean Kouamé, Bevic Oko
Lyon Preview
As we said at the beginning, Lyon has been struggling. The team cannot get out of mid-standings position, and it is already 9 points behind the European competition places that are starting to slip away. The team has already gone three games without a win, and two of them were defeats, the last of which was quite surprising.
Lyon lost 1-2 at home against one of the bottom teams, Strasbourg. That loss set off the alarm bells for the Lions, who are still on time to correct their mistakes before missing out on European competitions, which would have a serious impact on the institution’s financial rewards.
The cup helped the team build up its confidence by reminding them what it feels like to win. Lyon defeated Chambery 0-3. Any victory that can shake off the negative streak the team has is welcome, and it is also the perfect pretext to get back to its winning ways in the league.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Anthony Lopes; Sinaly Diomandé, Dejan Lovren, Castello Lukeba; Malo Gusto, Thiago Mendes, Corentin Tolisso, Nicolas Tagliafico; Rayan Cherki; Alexandre Lacazette; Kari Toko Ekambi.
JefeBet Prediction
Ajaccio is still hurting from the 7-1 defeat and is also out of the cup, as they lost 2-0 to Toulouse, making it 3 defeats in a row. Besides, the Corsicans are not so good laying at home: they have only two wins out of nine matches. Considering all that we have previously mentioned, we believe that Lyon will win and add three points.
Prediction: Ajaccio 0-2 Lyon
