Another action-packed fixture in Ligue 2 as Auxerre welcome Ajaccio

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.

Ajaccio have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Auxerre form and stats

The hosts won their first Ligue 2 game here at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Auxerre last season were 10 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from 19 games.

A nice win for Auxerre last time playing, versus Grenoble Foot 38. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Mathias Autret, Hamza Sakhi and Gauthier Hein scoring for the victors. Midfielder Gauthier Hein was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.15 (out of ten) in that game. Hein scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 38 successful passes (of 43 total).

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Amiens SC.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Auxerre have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost three.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Auxerre at home in the league. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Ajaccio form and stats

One match played away so far in the Ligue 2 for Ajaccio and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses from 19 games.

Cimignani scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 17 successful passes (of 21 total).
