Ajaccio - Nantes betting tips and odds

Ajaccio have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Nantes. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Nantes will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.85 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Ajaccio were fighting an uphill battle against Angers SCO in the previous round, which was especially clear during half-time. However, they proceeded to equalize and then take the lead in the later stages of the game, resulting in a stunning 1:2 away win.

The away team were facing 1.76 odds to win the previous round of the Ligue 1. Things turned out about as expected, with them losing 0:2 on home ground. That said, it’s worth mentioning that they also managed to maintain a tie score for more than half the game.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Ajaccio’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.

Ajaccio’s 17th spot in the standings is not about to impress anyone, but they’ve managed to steer clear of the relegation zone for now. They’re still a good chunk of the season to go through, however, and they’re heading into a relatively difficult matchup.

Nantes and Ajaccio tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Ajaccio are still considered more likely to come out on top this Sunday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Unibet priced at 1.58 odds.
