Betting on Angers SCO
Angers has gone from bad to worse, having recently lost 4-0 to Brest, and they continue to fall behind in the overall standings as the last of the 20 participating teams. In 20 matchdays, they have racked up two wins, two ties and 16 losses, for a total of eight points.
They have conceded 45 goals overall, which makes them the team with the most goals scored this season due to their weak defensive line. They have lost 12 straight games in Ligue 1, and their most recent victory came in September, when they defeated Nice by a score of 1-0. Another negative aspect is that Angers is currently the worst team at home, having lost eight of its 10 matches.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Paul Bernardoni; Souleyman Doumbia, Miha Blazic, Cédric Hountondji, Yan Valery; Himad Abdelli, Nabil Bentaleb, Batista Mendy, Sada Thioub; Adrien Hunou, Amine Salama.
Betting on AC Ajaccio
Ajaccio’s situation is not very favorable either, coming off a 0-2 loss to Lyon, and having a total of four losses in a row. Due to this bad streak, they have been placed #18, which means that they are in the relegation zone.
So far, the team has 15 points, the result of four wins, three draws and 13 defeats in 20 matches played. Along with Auxerre, they have the lowest number of goals scored, just 16, for an average of 0.8 goals scored per game. They will play here on the road, but they are not a reliable team, as they have five games without a win in this condition.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Francois-Joseph Sollacaro; Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Cedric Avinel, Ismael Diallo; Cyrille Bayala, Vincent Marchetti, Thomas Mangani, Youcef Belaili; Mounaim El Idrissy, Bevic Moussiti Oko.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no reason to trust either club at this point because things have recently gotten tough for both teams.
The team from the island of Corsica is predicted to win against a rival who is in an even more difficult circumstance, as the visitors are aware that a victory would help them escape the danger zone.
Prediction: Ajaccio win by a score of 0-2.
