Strasbourg vs AC Ajaccio – After losing their previous match to RC Lens by a score of 2-1 in Ligue 1, Strasbourg won’t want a recurrence of that performance currently.
In that contest, Strasbourg had 45% of the possession and 3 of its 13 efforts on goal were successful. Kévin Gameiro (84′) was the lone player for Strasbourg to register a goal.
Lens, on the other hand, made 13 attempts at goal, scoring 9 of them. For RC Lens, goals were scored by Przemysaw Frankowski (11′) and Facundo Medina (65′).
Strasbourg has recently exhibited defensive steel far too infrequently. In actuality, Strasbourg have conceded 10 goals in 5 of their last 6 games while failing to stop their opponents from scoring.
AC Ajaccio will be looking to right the wrongs from their defeat to AJ Auxerre in their most recent Ligue 1 match. In that contest, AC Ajaccio had 57% of the possession and 2 of their 9 shots on goal were successful.
Mickael Alphonse (45′ Own Goal) was the only player for AC Ajaccio to register a goal. Four of Auxerre’s 11 goal attempts were successful. For AJ Auxerre, goals were scored by Birama Touré (3′) and Nuno Joia da Costa (6′).
The numbers speak the tale; in their last six games, AC Ajaccio have allowed 10 goals to be scored against them. AC Ajaccio haven’t exactly been too reliable at the back.
However, there is no guarantee that this pattern will continue throughout the game. AC Ajaccio has lost their last four league games on the road without a victory.
Strasbourg vs AC Ajaccio – Betting Analysis
Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to 5/4/2009, we can see that Strasbourg has won 3, AC Ajaccio has won 2, and the number of draws is one.
Additionally, there were a lot of goals scored in those games, a total of 24 goals scored, with an average of 4 goals scored each game throughout that time period.
The previous league meeting between the two teams took place on Ligue 1 Match Day 14 on November 5, 2022, and was won by AC Ajaccio 4-2 Strasbourg.
At that point, AC Ajaccio had 49% of the possession and made 12 efforts at goal, scoring on seven of them. Youcef Belali (33 and 40 seconds), Mounam El Idrissy (34 seconds), and Riad Nouri (45 seconds) scored the goals.
Strasbourg had 9 shots on goal at the other end, scoring 5 of them. Kévin Gameiro (17′) and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (6′) both scored. Mathieu Vernice served as the umpire.
For Strasbourg manager Frédéric Antonetti, Maxime Le Marchand (sprained ankle) and Dimitri Liénard (dead leg) will be unable to play.
With Matz Sels, Gerzino Nyamsi, Alexander Djiku, Ismael Doukouré, Frédéric Guilbert, Habib Diarra, Ibrahima Sissoko, Eduard Sobol, Morgan Sanson, J. Bellegarde, and Kevin Gameiro, it appears likely that Le Racing will use a 3-4-2-1 system this time.
Olivier Pantaloni, the coach of AC Ajaccio, only has to worry about one player’s fitness out of a group that is largely healthy. Youcef Belali (Adductor issues) will not be participating. Due to his ban, Mohamed Youssouf is ineligible for this game.
We believe L’Ours will most likely start with the lineup of Benjamin Leroy, Mickael Alphonse, Fernand Mayembo, Oumar Gonzalez, Youssouf Koné, Cyrille Bayala, Mickael Barreto, Mathieu Coutadeur, Kevin Spadanuda, Mounam El Idrissy, and Romain Hamouma in a 4-4-2 formation.
In our perspective, AC Ajaccio should have plenty of opportunities to score goals against this Strasbourg club, albeit perhaps not quite as many as the goals that they might give up.
