Caen vs Ajaccio Predictions

• Caen have lost five of their last seven Ligue 2 home games.
• Ajaccio have won five of their last seven Ligue 2 away games, all of them with a clean sheet.
• Ajaccio have conceded just one goal in total in their last nine Ligue 2 matches.

Machine-like Corsicans can win to nil again

Machine-like Ajaccio can continue their march towards promotion with another win to nil against struggling Caen on Monday night.

The Coriscans have won seven of their last nine games in Ligue 2 and kept clean sheets in eight of them to establish the second-best defensive record in western Europe after Ajax.

This ought to be a routine evening for them in Normandy as Ajaccio have already returned from northern outposts like Dunkerque and Le Havre with all three points recently. Both times, it was by 1-0 margins and it must be said, as good as their defence is, the attack is keeping them from claiming top spot right now because their goal difference is inferior to that of Toulouse.

Caen in danger and without in-form forward

Caen, like Nancy, Amiens and Valenciennes, are one of a number of recent Ligue 1 dropouts in danger of another relegation. Malherbe have won only one league game since the beginning of October – at home to Guingamp last time out – prior to which they had taken a solitary point from their previous six games at Stade Michel d’Ornano.

A last-minute winner by Sochaux last weekend means they come into this game with no momentum and will be without suspended forward Nuno da Costa, who had scored in his last three games.

The win to nil looks a cracking bet in these circumstances and we are going to recommend a wager on another 1-0 success story for the visitors here – the same scoreline that each of Ajaccio’s last three road wins have produced.
