Ajaccio vs Nantes Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in French Ligue 1 on Sunday, 5 February 2023.
Nantes started their season on a poor note, and dropped a lot of points. But currently they are on a determined run, and are trying to make amends. Second half of their campaign has been much different.
Meanwhile, Ajaccio have been a total failure. They are struggling to stay above the relegation cut-off, and scored the least number of goals of all the teams in the competition.
Nantes won four of the past six h2h encounters. In fact, they are on an unbeaten run of 14 years against this opponent, and have a 100% winning record at this venue in the last decade.
It is also to be noted that the last the hosts kept a clean sheet at this venue in an h2h encounter was more than 20 years back.
Ajaccio are one of the few teams to have lost four of the past five games in the league, and they have a 100% losing record at home so far in 2023.
On top of that, they have a 100% losing record in h2h encounters in the last 14 years, barring just two draws.
Whereas Nantes lost just twice in all competitions in the past four months. These two defeats came against titans Marseille, and Reims.
As things stand, expect Nantes to be the better team on the pitch this weekend, and record a win.
Ajaccio conceded two or more goals in three of their last four overall games, and even let in seven goals in one of these fixtures. On top of that, they let in two or more goals in 100% of h2h clashes in the past decade.
For the reasons, anticipate a high-scoring affair this weekend.
Ajaccio scored the least number of goals of all the teams in the competition, and they are yet to score a goal at home in 2023. And to make matters further worse for them, Nantes kept clean sheets in every single one of their road trips so far in 2023.
Likely, chances are quite low for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Nantes have a perfect winning record in h2h clashes in the last 14 years, barring just two draws. On top of that they lost just twice in the past four months this season, and both of these defeats came against some of the best teams in France.
On the other hand, Ajaccio lost four of their past five league games, and the only game where they avoided a loss was against the dead-last placed Angers.
It appears that Nantes are a good pick to win the game at an odd of 2.80.
Going on, Ajaccio conceded two or more goals in three of their last four fixtures, including seven in one match-up. On top of that they were able to deliver a single clean sheet at home since August, and this came against the 20th placed Angers.
And most importantly, they conceded twice or more in 100% of h2h clashes in the past decade.
Likely, the Over 1.5 Team Goals by Nantes would be a good secondary tip at an odd of 3.00.
