Ajaccio - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

Ajaccio are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.65, it’s not very likely to happen.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Olympique Lyonnais to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

Ajaccio’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Monaco as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 7:1 loss for Ajaccio.

Having fallen behind in the first half, Olympique Lyonnais never managed to recover and ended up losing their previous Ligue 1 home match on a slim goal-margin 1:2.

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.

$With $VICTORIES wins from 20 rounds in the Ligue 1 this season, Ajaccio are currently sitting in 18th place in the standings. Dangerously close to the relegations zone and 15 points clear of danger, they need to thread carefully heading into the final stages of the season.

Ajaccio already played against Olympique Lyonnais in an earlier round of this Ligue 1 season. Olympique Lyonnais ended that match with a solid home win, though it wasn’t exactly a decisive victory. They’ll be trying to repeat that success, though it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re the away team this round.

Ajaccio’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Romain Hamouma, Yoann Touzghar, Vincent Marchetti have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

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 888Sport priced at 1.87 odds.
