Gazalec Ajaccio vs Lyon Betting Tips

It’s a little known fact, but Gazalec Ajaccio are one of the hottest teams in French Ligue 1 right now. They’re unbeaten in their last eight games with all five of their wins on the season coming during that stretch. After failing to score in their first nine games, GFC Ajaccio have shown real signs of improvement and in particular, they’re always a threat to score goals.

It’ll be interesting to see how they fair in a match-up against Lyon, who find themselves a disappointing sixth in the Ligue 1 table after losing back-to-back games to second place Angers (2-0) and then last weekend a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of PSG.

What does this Lyon team do really well? It’s tough to say, they’re not one of the elite Lyon teams of old and they are fragile, both in terms of going through goal-scoring slumps and in terms of defensive fragility.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. GFC Ajaccio can score

Whatever happens in this game, and our correct score prediction gives Lyon the edge, we expect Gazalec Ajaccio to put pressure on and to get a goal in this game, especially against a less reliable Lyon defence.

2. Pressure on Lyon to go for three points

After losing their last two games to the top two teams, there is a definite pressure on Lyon to up the ante and play for three points in this game, no travelling on the road and settling for a hard-earned draw here.

3. Back and forth type game

Both of these teams have good counter-attacking ability and we can see this quickly transforming into a back and forth, up and down style match-up.
