Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Two sides battling it out at the foot of France’s top-flight, Auxerre will host AC Ajaccio on Sunday lunchtime in what could be an enjoyable affair.

Starting with the hosts, coming off the back of more last-gasp heartbreak on the road, Auxerre find themselves in the midst of an extended rut. In their opening 12 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded just two wins, three draws and seven defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of nine from a possible 36, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 18th and with their goal difference keeping them in the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Reims, Auxerre have now failed to win any of their previous eight straight Ligue 1 contests. However, it should be noted, Sunday’s hosts have seen each of those eight top-flight fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, suffering what was a routine defeat against the defending champions last week, AC Ajaccio will be hoping for an immediate response here. In their opening 12 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, two draws and eight defeats, scoring eight and conceding 19 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of eight from a possible 36, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 19th in the standings and one-point adrift of Sunday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-0 loss against PSG, AC Ajaccio have won just one of their last four Ligue 1 contests. Likewise, with this weekend’s guests seeing each of their previous four matchups finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
