Ajaccio form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Ajaccio have managed 8 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 17 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade François Coty.

The home team returns to Stade François Coty after being equal after 90 minutes with Nancy (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Ligue 2 game ended 0-0. Before that, Ajaccio had a home game versus Niort which ended with a victory 3-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ajaccio have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won ten times, drawn four and lost four.

The Ajaccio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Ajaccio have conceded only 14 goals.

Amiens SC form and stats

Amiens SC, who have the fewest scored goals (26) in Ligue 2, have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 4-3-9 (16 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Amiens SC are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Amiens have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 210 minutes ago. C. Timite was the goal scorer.

Amiens's last game was the home draw against Valenciennes (0-0). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Chambly wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Amiens SC have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, three draws and five defeats.

Amiens has another fixture away, a Ligue 2 game, against Dunkerque in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
