January 24, France will host a match of the next round of Ligue 2. Caen will play at their home arena Stade Michel d’Ornano against Ajaccio.
Caen is dabbling around transitional matches in 15th place. This season, the team has managed to win only five games, three of which it has achieved at home. Seven times the team shared points with rivals, allowing eight defeats in the league.
Wherein, the last five rounds, Caen scored only five points, and on January 15, lost to Sochaux (2:3).
Ajaccio is fighting for a promotion. The team is approaching the upcoming round as the leader of the standings, which it shares with Toulouse (41 points each), having one less match played.
The main weapon of Ajaccio is a reliable defense, which allowed only eight goals missed in 20 rounds. But in the attack, the guests of this game do not shine with effectiveness – 21 goals scored. At the same time, Ajaccio has an active series of six rounds without defeat, and in the last game of the championship, the team beat Amiens away (1:0) in their own style.
Despite the fact that the teams are at different poles of the championship standings, analysts do not determine the favorite in this game.
At the same time, Caen has had a terrible performance in recent matches at home, allowing six defeats in nine games. Ajaccio, on the other hand, steadily takes away points from the fields of rivals – five wins in seven past rounds.
In addition, Ajaccio took two victories in a row over Caen. But even in the brawls of the teams, an active downstream trend persists – four meetings in a row. Also adding here that the guests took five past victories in the league with a score of 1:0, while the hosts left their home arena twice in three previous cases without scoring. By the way, bookmakers are convinced that opponents will set a limit on goals scored.
Supposedly Ajaccio’s pragmatic style, combined with the reliable defense, will allow guests to score points.
