Bordeaux vs Ajaccio Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Friday, the Stade Matmut-Atlantique sets the stage for a compelling Ligue 2 clash between Bordeaux and Ajaccio, as they lock horns in the 36th round. With just two points separating them in the league standings — Bordeaux at 14th with 44 points and Ajaccio slightly ahead at 12th with 46 points — both teams will be eager to claim vital points as the season heads towards its conclusion.

Looking at their recent form, Bordeaux have been somewhat inconsistent, securing two wins but suffering three losses in their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a narrow defeat away to Laval (1-0). On home soil, however, Bordeaux have been more potent offensively, averaging 1.6 goals per game.

Ajaccio's form has been slightly better; they've gathered eight points from their last five games with two wins, one loss and two draws. In their latest match on home turf against Quevilly Rouen ended in a stalemate (1-1). When playing away from home this season though Ajaccio has struggled to find the net frequently averaging only 0.5 goals per game while conceding an average of nearly twice that amount.

The previous encounter between these sides this season resulted in a goalless draw at Stade François Coty back on August 21st which adds another layer of intrigue about whether either side can break through this time around or if another closely contested draw is on the cards.

Bet

Given both teams' tendency towards lower-scoring outcomes when facing each other coupled with Ajaccio’s low scoring rate away from home and historical data pointing towards tight encounters (e.g., the earlier season draw), betting under "Under 2.5 goals" appears prudent here. The odds are set at favorable value of 1.53, reflecting higher probability but still presenting worthwhile returns for cautious bettors looking to capitalize on trends rather than outright results.
