Competition: Ligue 1
Market: Strasbourg win
Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport
In what is a real relegation six-pointer on Sunday afternoon, Strasbourg will welcome AC Ajaccio to the Stade de la Meinau.
Starting with the hosts, while Strasbourg might have claimed a stunning top-six finish last season, Le Racing have certainly come crashing back down to earth this time around. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Lens, Frederic Antonetti’s men have claimed just a single win from any of their last six Ligue 1 appearances. Currently sat two points adrift in the drop zone and facing what could be a season-defining battle here, there is no doubt that Strasbourg will be glad to make a return to home soil this weekend. Last seen at the Stade de la Meinau picking up a deserved 2-0 win against Auxerre prior to the international break, Sunday’s hosts have largely impressed in front of their own supporters this year. On a run that is highlighted by a 2-0 win against Montpellier, it should be noted that Antonetti’s side have won three of their last four contests in Alsace.
As for the visitors, only continuing to show a string of issues on either side of the international break, it is no secret that AC Ajaccio are free-falling towards an immediate second-tier return this season. Last seen putting in a woeful display on home soil as they were hit with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Auxerre, Olivier Pantaloni’s men find themselves sat seven points adrift of safety and facing a huge uphill struggle over the coming weeks. In fact, along with losing each of their last five domestic appearances by an aggregate score of 9-1, the Bears have also collected just three points from any of their previous eight Ligue 1 outings. Showing a host of issues at both ends of the pitch, Ajaccio have also claimed just one away victory since opening 2023. Slumping to a 2-1 loss against Clermont in their last showdown away from the Stade Francois Coty, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
Bet: Strasbourg 8/11 to beat AC Ajaccio in Sunday’s Ligue 1 matchup @ 888sport
