St Malo US vs Gazelec Ajaccio Betting Tips

Sixth place in the CFA, Saint-Malo enter their Coupe de France tie against Gazelec Ajaccio in pretty good form. They’ve won seven straight games in all competitions and they haven’t lost a game since a 1-0 defeat to Bergerac on October 31st. They’ve got a home tie in the Round of 16, which might just allow them to do something special.

Gazelec Ajaccio’s last Ligue 1 win came on December 20, a span of six games. They’re in the relegation battle, but a Coupe de France run could still do this team some good. Their most successful style of play has been aggressive and they should fancy their chances playing against a lower-tier team that will put men behind the ball.

Reason for Betting Tips

Saint-Malo are in good form, which will make them a dangerous opponent for GFC Ajaccio, especially playing with home field advantage. We’ll have to back the away side to pick up a win, but their attacking and aggressive style of play should test them and we expect goals to be scored on by both teams. The Over 2.5 Goals market is coming in at a very reasonable 9/10 and it’s protected from the possibility that Saint-Malo have an upset in them on Tuesday night.
