Ajaccio vs Brest Prediction and Betting Tips | 23rd April 2023

Ajaccio will entertain Brest at Stade François Coty in Ligue 1 action on Sunday.

Ajaccio vs Brest Preview

With seven matchdays left to conclude the season, Ajaccio face the specter of sliding back to Ligue 2. They earned promotion to the top flight last season after finishing second in the lower division. However, life has been very difficult for Mathieu Coutadeur and Co. in Ligue 1, with little hope of improvement.

L'ours have lost their last six matches, conceding a total of 12 goals. In fact, they have won once in their last 10 outings, losing nine times. The hosts sit second from the bottom (19th), level on 21 points with 18th-placed Troyes. It’s unclear if Ajaccio will be able to reproduce their 1-0 success over Brest when they last met.

The visitors are fighting to stay in Ligue 1. Brest are placed 16th with 31 points – two above relegation-bound Strasbourg. A further poor run of form could doom them and send them down to the second tier. Things are getting better though as they are unbeaten in their last four games since the 2-1 setback against PSG.

Les Pirates need up to 10 more points to guarantee their safety in the top flight. Fortunately, the majority of their remaining fixtures are not against top-table teams, which could improve their chances of amassing the required points. Their record on the road is fairly good, with one win, two draws, and two losses.
