We should have a considerable gap in performance between these teams based on the league table so far, with Lille in front of Ajaccio by 34 points.

Insights:
  • Lille have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Ajaccio have the fewest scored goals (22) in Ligue 1

Ajaccio have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

A depressing five defeats in a row for Ajaccio in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Angers SCO.
