Nice vs Ajaccio Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - February 9, 2023

Nice vs Ajaccio
French Ligue 1
Date: 10 February 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Riviera (Nice).

It takes something special to take nine points from the clashes against the likes of Lille, Lens, and Marseille and this is exactly what Nice accomplished in the previous three rounds.

The team from Allianz Riviera are enjoying a sensational spell of form under new manager Didier Digard.

They won four and drew one of the previous five league rounds despite an extremely tough schedule in the process.

Digard can be particularly pleased with the defensive rhythm his men have shown in the recent weeks because Nice allowed just one goal in the previous four league fixtures.

Nice looked particularly impressive on Sunday evening when they saw off red-hot Marseille 1-3 away at Stade Orange-Velodrome in the derby of the previous Matchday.

Gaetan Laborde continued his fine form by bagging his sixth goal of the season on the occasion. Nice are now just six points shy of 5th-placed Rennes and could easily join the battle for European positions in the second half of the season.

Digard’s troops are now finally looking ahead of an easier game as they play host to out-of-form relegation-threatened AC Ajaccio in the first match of Gameweek No 23 on Friday evening at Allianz Riviera.

Ajaccio suffered their fifth defeat in the last six outings across competitions five days ago when they fell 0-2 at home to Nantes.

The team led by Olivier Pantaloni are now third from bottom in the Ligue 1 ladder and they are in for a tough relegation battle in the second half of the season.

Nice vs Ajaccio Head-to-head

• Nice will go into this on the back of three wins and a draw in the last four head to head meetings with Ajaccio.
• Nice won 8, drew 1, and lost 2 of the previous eleven home outings against AC Ajaccio.
• AC Ajaccio have failed to find the back of the net in four successive matches against Nice.

Nice vs Ajaccio Prediction

Nice to win to nil is by far the standout betting option at the 2.20 odds. The hosts won four and drew one of the last five league games, allowing just two goals in the process and they have not conceded at all in any of the previous four H2H affairs against Ajaccio.

We will alternatively back Gaetan Laborde (expected to lead Nice’s line once again) to score the first goal of the game at the 5.00 odds.

Nice vs Ajaccio Betting Tips

• Nice to win to nil @ 2.20 (6/5)

• Gaetan Laborde to score the first goal of the game @ 5.00 (4/1) odd.
