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 Ajaccio and Auxerre.

Ajaccio form and stats

Ajaccio have collected 16 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 4-4-3. Ajaccio are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stade François Coty, having lost their two previous games here.

The Ajaccio fans got no joy from their last match, a Ligue 2 game also here at Stade François Coty: A 2-3 defeat against Auxerre (placed 12th). In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Paris.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ajaccio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ajaccio as a small favourite), we find nine games. Ajaccio has won four of these, drawn three and lost two.

The Ajaccio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Ajaccio have conceded only 9 goals.

Auxerre form and stats

Auxerre have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 2-3-6 (11 played).

M. Le Bihan was the last player to score for the away team. Auxerre haven't scored a league goal in the last 207 minutes.

It's the second away game in a row for Auxerre, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Ajaccio (placed 3rd) in the Ligue 2 last time out. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Clermont.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Auxerre playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were zero Auxerre wins, one draw and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Auxerre as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Auxerre in these games.
