Ajaccio form and stats

With 3 Ligue 1 wins, 1 draw and 11 defeats from their home games, Ajaccio are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Ajaccio hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Auxerre, Troyes, Angers SCO, Ajaccio, Strasbourg and Nantes), they have won 3 of 5 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ajaccio with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Troyes game, 55 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Ajaccio in their previous match, an away game at Strasbourg that ended in defeat 1-3. Bayala (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.14/10. Bayala hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Auxerre that was lost 0-3.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ajaccio here at Stade François Coty in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 15 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ajaccio defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Brest form and stats

Brest have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 3-5-8 (16 played). Visiting Brest has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Impressive finishing from Douaron secured the home win 1-0 against Nice in their previous game. Goalkeeper Bizot was absolutely vital in the Brest victory against Nice, making six saves. Goalkeeper Bizot got the top player rating of the team with 8.2/10. Bizot topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 1-1 draw at Reims's stadium before that.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Brest have scored 17 goals in 16 league games away. Brest struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.
