Lille to consolidate their European spot against Ajaccio
Lille OSC vs AC Ajaccio - 29/04/2023
2398
On Saturday afternoon, Lille will look to consolidate their position in Ligue One’s European spots when they welcome Ajaccio to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
LOSC are currently in fifth place in the French top-flight table but are only three points ahead of sixth place Rennes. A 1-1 draw at Auxerre last time out continued a relatively inconsistent run of form for Lille in the French top flight.
However, the draw does mean that Paulo Fonseca’s team has lost just one of their previous eight league matches.
Lille heads into this clash in decent home form, as they are unbeaten in their previous 13 league games in the French top flight, having recorded nine victories and four draws.
LOSC have also been prolific on home soil in Ligue One, scoring at least two goals in their last five league games on their own patch.
The visitors look to be heading to the French second tier for next season, as they go into this clash 19th place in the league table, ten points from safety.
Olivier Pantaloni's team is winless in their last seven games in Ligue One. However, at least a goalless draw against fellow strugglers Brest last time out ended Ajaccio's six-game losing league run.
The game also saw the visitors keep a rare clean sheet in the French top flight, as they had conceded at least two goals in each of their previous four Ligue One outings.
Ajaccio’s poor away form of late in Ligue One has played its part in their lowly position in the Ligue One table, as they have suffered five straight away defeats in Ligue One, having conceded at least twice in four of the losses.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Lille will boost their top five chances by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter while hampering Ajaccio’s survival hopes at the same time.
