Ajaccio and Angers are two teams at the bottom of the league table, where both are hopeful to finally end their struggles in the league. They are both at the relegation zone of the Ligue 1 standings, but if they win their next matches, they could stand a chance. Ajaccio managed to pick up four points before their World Cup break. However, things are different for Angers as they lost their last seven league matches. This meeting will be hosted by Ajaccio, and will happen on December 28, 2022, at 10:00 PM (GMT+8).
As the visitors picked up five wins from their last 12 meetings, they hold a slight advantage against the hosts. The hosts are not winless though as they won three games during this period. The only problem is that the visitors are unbeaten by the hosts in their last three matches, as they last loss in December 2010. Additionally, they are in dire need of run, as they currently lost to their seven matches. The hosts on the other hand managed only a win, so they are no better than the visitors.
Ajaccio
This squad is currently at the 18th spot of the league table with 12 points across their name. However, if they managed to win this match, they could earn three points, they could enter the knockout stage. Their match before the World Cup ended in a 2-2 draw, and they will come into this match with hopes to earn their second home win. Since they will be playing at home, they eye to take advantage of it. A win in this match could give them three points, helping them have 15 points, and improve their record at the 13th spot. Additionally, they are in good form before the break, a form they want to bring for this game.
Clement Vidal, and Cedric Avinelare both unavailable in this game, after their respective suspensions. Additionally, Gonzales, and Kone are also both suspended in this match, due to their yellow cards.
Angers
Looking at their current record, it seems like there is really have no hope for Angers to enter the knockout stage. They are actually at the bottom-most of the league table with just eight points. Even if they win in this match, there is only two possibilities for them. First is to stay at the 20th spot, or as the 19th spot. However, miracles could happen in this match, especially if they have the slight advantage against their opponents. In addition to their burden, they currently don’t have a permanent manager which is not good for them.
They will be without Boufal, and Ounahi, as they were given some time off after their World Cup campaign for Morocco.

Ajaccio (2.5)
