Ajaccio form and stats

Ajaccio's struggle is real here at Stade François Coty with only 10 points collected from 14 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-10. When Ajaccio hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Troyes, Angers SCO, Brest, Ajaccio, Strasbourg and Nantes), they have won 3 of 4 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ajaccio with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Troyes game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The followers are hoping that Ajaccio will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Clermont (placed 12th). The defeat against Clermont was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Kyei). Idrissy, who usually features in attack, was the best player for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Idrissy scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Ahead of that match, Ajaccio lost 0-2 at home to Monaco.
