Valenciennes vs Ajaccio Prediction & Preview

Preview

As Valenciennes prepares to host Ajaccio at Stade du Hainaut this Tuesday, both teams come into the 34th round of France Ligue 2 with contrasting fortunes. Valenciennes finds themselves rooted at the bottom of the table in 20th place, having struggled to gather points with a recent form showing no wins and five losses from their last five matches. Their struggle is evident as they've managed only an average of 0.25 goals per game at home while conceding an alarming rate of two goals per game.

On the other hand, Ajaccio sits comfortably mid-table in 11th position, showcasing more stability with two wins, two losses, and one draw in their recent outings. They have consistently outperformed Valenciennes in head-to-head encounters too—holding two wins and three draws over their last five matchups—and will look to extend that dominance following their recent victory against Caen (2-1) at home.

In their most recent direct clash back on December 19, 2023, Ajaccio edged out a win with a scoreline of 2-1 against Valenciennes at Stade François Coty. Despite playing away this time around, Ajaccio's average goal tally stands higher than Valenciennes' both overall and specifically on away grounds.

Bet

Considering all aspects including team forms, historical performances during head-to-head matches as well as goal scoring and conceding averages for both sides when playing home/away respectively; betting on an Away Win for Ajaccio seems promising given they're not just favorites based on league standings but also have favorable odds set at 1.9. Ajaccio’s consistency compared to Valenciennes’ struggles could see them taking all three points from this encounter once again.
