Ajaccio form and stats

Disaster struck Ajaccio last season as they could not defend their status as a Ligue 1 team. With 26 defeats from 38 games, and only 7 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Ajaccio are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W4 D3 L12.

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 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Ajaccio friendly games in pre-season: Ajaccio played three friendlies, won 2, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Ajaccio scored {3 goals} and conceded 1 in these three games.

Rodez form and stats

Let's have a look at how Rodez performed last season in the Ligue 2: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 13 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded {44 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 6 and lost 6 with 20/17 goals scored/conceded.

Rodez are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

Just as the home team, Rodez have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 1 Rodez win, 1 draw and 0 losses.
