Lens to win
Ajaccio have a good home record of late, as they are unbeaten in the last 5 games (5W). However, those stats are committed to Ligue 2, while the opening round of the top flight proved to be a harsh reality check for Ajaccio.
Meanwhile, Lens are unbeaten in their last 9 Ligue 1 fixtures. They are better team on paper and should be able to win this match.
Lens not to lose and Total goals over 1.5
For our second prediction, we will back a less risky bet. All of Lens’ matches against newly promoted teams in the previous campaign produced over 1.5 goals. Therefore, we will back the guests’ double chance and total goals over 1.5 outcome.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Ajaccio vs Lens
Ajaccio’s comeback to Ligue 1 were unsuccessful, as they lost to Lyon 1:2 in the match opener.
Meanwhile, manager Olivier Pantaloni has to fix their defensive problems if he wants better results. Ajaccio conceded two goals within the opening 22 minutes against Lyon, and it could have been worse if not for Les Gones goalkeeper Anthony Lopez’s red card.
The Bears have not the best win-rate (27%) against Lens (W4, D4, L7). Moreover, they have lost the last two games at François Coty stadium.
