AJACCIO V SOCHAUX PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW : BETTING STATS

Ajaccio is currently 12^th after last week’s win in Toulouse (2-4).

They won 4 games, drew 4 times and lost also 4 games.

When playing at home, the Corsicans have won twice, drew twice and lost 1 game.

Sochaux (18^th) is in relegation zone but only 3 points behind Ajaccio.

They won 3 games, drew twice and already lost 7 matches.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

After a lively match, Ajaccio managed to defeat Toulouse in their stadium (2-4). Thanks to this win, the Corsicans have gone away from the red zone.

Corsican’s forward Belghazouani actively participated in the success in Toulouse. Aligned behind Eduardo, he scored the first double in Ligue 1 in his career and gave an assist to Sigamary Diarra at the end of the match.

Sochaux had a pretty good week with 4 points taken out of 6. They played a serious game against Lyon, especially in midfield where players like Nogueira often blocked enemy attacks and allowed his men to create the offset in the Lyon camp. Sochaux’s players should travel to Corsica with a full squad, only midfielder Roudet is uncertain to start the game.

AJACCIO V SOCHAUX PREDICTIONS:1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The home team is favourite, best odd reaches 1.91 with William Hill, draw is offered at 3.51 and Sochaux to win at 4.89 both with Pinnacle.

Both teams remain on good performances on their last match with a victory for Ajaccio away in Toulouse (2-4) while Sochaux drew in Lyon. Ajaccio’s players are quite irregular when playing at home but they should have a lot of confidence after last victory at Toulouse and an irreversible support from its audience. I don’t see Sochaux strong enough to avoid a loss in Corsica so I would recommend to bet on Ajaccio here.

AJACCIO V SOCHAUX PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market is set at Ajaccio -0.5 at 1.87 with 188bet, Pinnacle offers 2.05 for Sochaux +0.5. The value is clearly on the visiting side here as it should be a tight game and a draw is not to be excluded but as I explained in 1X2 preview, I think Ajaccio will win this game so I’ll back the home side.

AJACCIO V SOCHAUX PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

In 5 games played at home this season, Ajaccio only scored 3 goals, same total for Sochaux in 6 games played away. Therefore, it’s not surprising to see the under 2.5 goals as favourite here, Pinnacle offres the best odd at 1.79. However, considering recent form of Ajaccio forwards (Eduardo, Belghazouani and Mutu), I think it’s not a bad idea to use the free bet offer on the over 2.5 as Betsson is offering a nice 2.13 odd.
