Valenciennes vs Ajaccio Predictions

• Valenciennes have lost their last four matches without scoring a single goal
• Ajaccio have lost one of their last ten matches
• Ajaccio are unbeaten in their last five away matches

Valenciennes drought may well continue  

Valenciennes have lost their last four matches without scoring a single goal and if they weren’t already, they now find themselves engrossed in a relegation battle. 31 points separate themselves and Friday’s visitors AC Ajaccio – who are currently second just six points off leaders Toulouse, these two sides are battling on very different fronts.

Visitors hoping to apply pressure on leaders Toulouse

Ajaccio can apply pressure on leaders Toulouse on Friday with a win – Toulouse do not play until Tuesday and a win for second place Ajaccio would close the gap between the two sides to just three points. Ajaccio have been afforded a great opportunity to do just that on Friday as they travel to struggling Valenciennes. In stark contrast to their hosts, Ajaccio go into Friday’s game in great form – the visitors have lost one of their last ten matches and are also unbeaten in their last five on the road, keeping five clean sheets in the process. Ajaccio have the third best away record in Ligue 2 this season and have conceded just ten goals in 17 games on their travels.

There is plenty in the favour of the visitors on Friday and an investment on Ajaccio in the outright market is recommended, they can currently be backed at a best priced of 6/5. A sixth away clean sheet on the spin is entirely feasible and in the correct score market I will take a chance on this finishing 2-0 to the visitors – Ajaccio have the best defensive record in Ligue 2 this season, conceding 13 fewer goals than the next best.
