Clermont - Ajaccio betting tips and odds

Clermont are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Ajaccio may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

Ajaccio appear severely unprepared for a clash with Clermont, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.00 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Clermont fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Montpellier , who are a considerably stronger team. Clermont couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (2:1).

Ajaccio are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Monaco. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 6.50 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Ajaccio struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:2.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Clermont’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Desperation must be setting in over at the Ajaccio camp as we move into round 29. At 19th place, they are at risk of being relegated. Even worse, their odds of earning points against the current opposition are quite low.

Clermont already have a victory over Ajaccio on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Ligue 1, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

These teams are relatively close in terms of form, so our suggestion is to go for a Draw result. However, lengthening the odds with a Draw/Draw HT/FT bet is an even better option. It pushes the odds to 4.80 while the risks remain largely the same.
