AC Ajaccio vs Caen Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

Unlike teams like Auxerre and Angers who are on the podium, AC Ajaccio, who were relegated at the end of last season, were not able to raise their heads enough to return to the elite as of the month next. However, Olivier Pantaloni's men have still preserved the essentials by managing to keep the red zone at a good distance since currently, they are in 12th place in the ranking, with 7 points ahead of the first relegation place. In recent times, the Corsicans had been dominated by Angers 3-1, Annecy 1-3, Paris FC 2-0 and Auxerre 0-1 before resuming against Pau 1-1. Finally, last week, they were able to bring down a Saint-Etienne team in full swing 2-0 to give themselves some air in the standings. Opposite, Caen is in a large pack of teams capable of playing a place in the top 5 qualifying for the play-offs.

Carried by Alexandre Mendy who is the top scorer in the championship and by his warm public, Malherbe is in 6th place in the ranking with only one small point behind 4th place. Problem is, like their direct competitors in this fight for the dams, Nicolas Seube's men are failing in terms of consistency. Victorious in the derby against QRM 1-2, the Normans were then surprised at home by Bordeaux 0-1 before winning with some success last weekend against a direct competitor, Rodez 1-0 .

The long-term injured Bayala is still not fit this weekend. The substitutes Puch and Benhaïm, the rather fragile defender Campanini, and the attackers Jacob and Touré are also not available for this poster. After a few slightly less good matches, winter recruit Ibayi found the net again last weekend by converting a penalty.

This is his 5th goal since joining the club this winter. The former Rouennais has therefore joined the veteran Touzghar (5 goals) in the scorers' ranking and is ahead of the young Ivorian Touré (4 goals) and the interesting Jabol-Folcarelli (3 goals).
