AC Ajaccio vs Lens Prediction

Consistency has not been a trademark for AC Ajaccio recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Grenoble. This was followed by a 1-0 win against Toulouse, before they lost 2-1 against Lyon. AC Ajaccio claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Ligue 1, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored nine and conceded 13 goals.

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for AC Ajaccio, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the Ligue 1.

Lens look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Troyes by 1-3, before drawing 2-2 with Monaco. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Brest by a 3-2 scoreline. In their last six Ligue 1 away matches, Lens have three wins, they've drawn two and lost one one. They scored eight while also conceding five times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

Lens go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.
