Ligue 1: We're previewing an intriguing and vital scrap involving Angers SCO and Ajaccio at Stade Raymond Kopa. They both need to win this!
- Angers SCO have the most conceded goals (45) in Ligue 1
- Ajaccio have the fewest scored goals in the second half (8) in Ligue 1
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Ajaccio, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Angers SCO and Ajaccio.
Angers SCO form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Angers SCO have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here at Stade Raymond Kopa. Problems are piling up for Angers SCO as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of twelve games. This streak could be one for the history books.
Angers lost their last game at Brest (placed 16th) after a 0-4 scoreline. As you see from the result above, Angers SCO suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Hountondji was "man of the match" with a rating of 6.82 out of 10. The defender Hountondji won 8 of 13 duels.
Before that game, a nice away victory at Strasbourg Koenigshoffen. A Coupe de France game. This is expected to be a close game, with Angers SCO perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Angers SCO as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Angers SCO has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 6.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Angers SCO as they are travelling to their away game against Lorient in the Ligue 1. That match is four days after this one.
The Angers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Angers SCO have conceded 22 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Ajaccio form and stats
Ajaccio have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-2-6 (10 played). With the Ajaccio losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
The manager Pantaloni was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stade François Coty. Ajaccio suffered a 0-2 loss to Olympique Lyonnais (placed 9th). Midfield player Bayala was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Bayala hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A defeat, in the Coupe de France away at Toulouse, before that. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by Ajaccio in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Ajaccio, 5 draws and 0 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ajaccio are hosting Nantes in the Ligue 1 only four days away.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
Surprisingly enough, the last time Ajaccio kept a "clean sheet" was also versus this opposition, five league matches ago (Ajaccio - Angers SCO 1-0). H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Angers SCO four wins, three draws and Ajaccio three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.
