Betting on AC Ajaccio
After suffering 4 consecutive losses, Ajaccio managed to secure a 1-2 victory over Angers on the road, placing them in 17th place in the league table and just one point away from safety. They hope to capitalize on this momentum and turn things around at home, where their record has been lackluster.
In 10 home games in Corsica, they’ve only won two, contributing to their position at the bottom of the table. Although Ajaccio has struggled, there have been some positive signs of improvement, particularly in their performance.
Aside from the 7-1 defeat against Monaco, they have not played badly. They lost 0-2 to Lyon, but held their own for over 70 minutes and posed a threat to Olympique until the second goal. Ajaccio is making progress, but they need to start winning at home to secure their place in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): François Sollacaro; Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Cedric Avinel, Ismael Diallo; Cyrille Bayala, Vincent Marchetti, Thomas Mangani, Riad Nouri; Youcef Belaili, Maunaim El Idrissy
Betting on FC Nantes
Nantes has made small strides, but they’ve added up. They went through a 6-game unbeaten run, but only managed two wins during that stretch, with the rest being draws. In their last match, they faced a tough opponent in Marseille and lost 0-2.
A few rounds ago, they were just one point away from the danger zone, but that run of results helped them move up the table to 13th place and 4 points clear of the relegation zone. They still need to secure wins to remain in a safe position.
The challenge for them is playing away from home. In 11 away games, they’ve only won once, on January 15th against Montpellier with a score of 0-3.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alban Lafont; Fabien Centoze, Andrei Girotto, Joao Victor, Charles Traoré; Moussa Sissoko, Pedro Chirivella; Ludovic Blas, Florent Mollet, Moses Simon; Ignatius Ganago.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams played previously and drew 2-2. That game was in Nantes and the match was almost won by Ajaccio: They were leading 0-2, but in the 70th and 89th minutes the Canaries rescued a point at home. This time, we anticipate that Nantes will come away with the win due to their current good form.
Prediction: Ajaccio 0-2 Nantes
