Betting on AS Monaco
AS Monaco comes into this match on the back of a 2-2 draw against Lorient. Although they only managed to earn one point in that game, the good thing is that they have now gone three games unbeaten, with two wins and a draw.
They are in fifth place in Ligue 1, after recording 10 wins, four draws and four defeats in the 18 matches played so far. They need to win to be in contention for fourth place, although they would also need Stade Rennais not to win this weekend, as they have the same number of points (34).
Probable lineup (4-4-2):Alexander Nubel; Vanderson de Oliveira, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripan, Caio Henrique; Krepin Diatta, Youssouf Fofana, Mohamed Camara, Aleksandr Golovin; Eliesse Ben Seghir, Breel Embolo.
Betting on AC Ajaccio
Although AC Ajaccio made an effort to react, they lost to Toulouse and Reims before this game. These defeats were connected by the team’s inability to score, which hadn’t happened since October.
The Corsican team has only won four times in 18 games, drawn three times, and lost 11 times, which is the second-highest total of losses so far this season. Their obvious offensive issues are demonstrated by the fact that they are the club with the fewest goals scored (15). Ajaccio needs to win on this game to avoid relegation.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Benjamin Leroy; Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Fernand Mayembo, Ismael Diallo; Cyrille Bayala, Vincent Marchetti, Thomas Mangani, Riad Nouri; Mounaim El Idrissy, Bevic Moussiti-Oko.
JefeBet Prediction
AC Ajaccio has gone four games without winning on the road, and here they will again be on rival territory, having not won in any of their six away games against Monaco in all competitions in two decades. Monaco’s superiority, in this way, is expected to continue in this match.
Prediction: AS Monaco win by a score of 3-0.
