Ajaccio v Lyon predictions and betting tips

Ajaccio have not started the season well, they are in the relegation zone at the moment on 18th place with 0-3-3. If you count the preseason friendlies then they are 10 matches without a win, in the league they have lost to Saint Etienne, Evian TG and Rennes, and they have tied against PSG, Nice, and Sochaux. Last weekend they lost 2-0 away to Rennes. In that match they had 42% possession, created 16 attempts which is good considering the possession, but only two shots were on target. Rennes had all the highest rated players in that match, and best Ajaccio player was their goalie Ochoa.

Lyon have started in average fashion, they are 3-1-2 and in 8th place, so not as high up as they would expect. They started the season with two wins, but then had a bad run with four straight losses including CL qualification against Real Sociedad. But in last three matches they are unbeaten, first they tied 0-0 at home to Rennes, then 0-0 away to Real Betis in Europa League, and last weekend saw their first win in a long time when they beat Nantes 3-1 at home. In that match they had 59% possession and created 11 attempts (5 on target). So not that many attempts created, but they were strong at finishing and it was in general a deserved win. Lyon had the highest rated players and attacking midfielder Grenier was their best player and scored one of the goals, the other two were scored by Gomis and Briand.

Ajaccio v Lyon predictions

Ajaccio won this fixture last season 3-1, but that is the only win they have recorded and Lyon have the upper hand in the h2h stats with 9-3-1.

Defender Dabo is doubtful for Lyon, important midfielder Gourcouff is not fully fit yet, and midfielder Ghezzal is also out. Ajaccio have had their share of injury problems so far this season, a factor that no doubt has contributed to the results. Midfielders Faty, Cavalli and Goncalves, forwards Eduardo and Dennis Oliech, and defender Denis Tonucci were all out against Sochaux this weekend and situation does not look much better for this match.

Ajaccio v Lyon betting tips

Lyon are the better team here, they should advance on the table and are expected to be in top five by end of season, while Ajaccio are expected to fight against relegation. Both teams have shown poor form for several matches now, but Lyon winning their last match will give them the necessary boost to win this one. I am betting Lyon to win at odds 11/10 (2.10) with Bet365.
