Ajaccio and Auxerre go head-to-head at the Stade François Coty in round 30 of the French Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Christophe Pélissier’s men will be looking to complete the league double over L'ours, having picked up a 1-0 victory in October’s reverse fixture.
Ajaccio suffered another blow in their quest to beat the drop as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Clermont Foot at the Stade Gabriel Montpied last Sunday.
L'ours have now lost their last four outings, scoring once and shipping six goals since February’s 2-1 win over 10-man Troyes. Ajaccio currently sit bottom but one in the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 21 points from 29 matches.
Elsewhere, Auxerre resumed their surge from the danger zone as they picked up a 1-0 win over Troyes at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps last Sunday. This followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Strasbourg on March 19 which saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end.
With 26 points from 29 games, Auxerre are currently 17th in the league table, but a win on Sunday could potentially see them move level on points with 15th-placed Stade Brestois.
