LORIENT-AJACCIO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Lorient (8^th) had a pretty good start of season but it’s getting bad since October. They are unable to win, they just drew 3 times in row before last week-end where they were crushed by Valenciennes 6-1. It was their first loss of the season, they will try to erase this loss from their memories and to focus on the 3 points against Ajaccio.

Ajaccio (13^th) is having an average season so far: 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.

They are not conceding many goals (9 goals) but they are not scoring many goals either (6 goals). Ajaccio is also a team much stronger at home than away (2 losses, 2 draws and 1 win when playing outside south Corsica).

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Lorient’s first loss of the season will be remembered: rushed from the start of the game, reduced to ten men from the 17th minute and nine for the last 15 minutes, the trip to Valenciennes has been a real a nightmare evening.

This game against Ajaccio is the perfect moment to come back to the basics which means a fast passing game and a team constantly moving forward. Coach Christian Gourcuff regrets to be without few players before to host Ajaccio like Mareque, Ecuele Manga (both injured), Le Lan and Emeghara (both suspended).

The Corsicans got 1 point in Bastia last week which is almost like a victory for them. It has been 7 years Bastia and Ajaccio had not competed in Ligue 1. Corsican derby was very expected and ultimately did not keep its promises on the ground. Finally, the only "entertainment" in Ajaccio was a fight between Angoula and Cavalli and then led to incidents in the stands. Cavalli will be suspended to face Lorient.

LORIENT V AJACCIO PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Lorient remains a strong favorite despite its poor recent form. Bet at home offers 1.75 for the home win. Best odd for the draw is offered by Tipico at 3.60 and Ajaccio to win at 5.50 with Mybet.

I will put my money on Lorient here, the rapidity of their passing game on their synthetic ground should allow them to win this game.

LORIENT V AJACCIO PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian is set to Lorient – 0.75 at 2.00 with Betvictor, the price is fair considering previous meetings between these teams have always been tight (draw or victory with 1 goal margin 5 times out of 6 games). However, I do believe Lorient will react after last week’s humiliation and win this the manner.

LORIENT V AJACCIO PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is favorite, best price can be found with Pinnacle at 1.75, Ladbrokes is pricing the over at 2.20.

Both teams have met 6 times in Ligue 1 in their recent history, the total never went over 2.5 goals in any of this game. I really do not expect many goals to be scored in this match so I recommend to bet on the under here.
