The record of direct confrontations played at this stadium indicates a total balance between these two teams, as there were 2 draws and 1 victory for each team in the last 4 games.

In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (0’‑ 15 ‘).

The Paris has had a big drop in performance and to say so is not an exaggeration. The team left the isolated leadership of Ligue 2 and is currently not even in the playoff zone for promotion. The squad has quality and has already shown it on the pitch, so what they need most at this time is attention and determination on the pitch. If you show the football you’ve played before this bad tide, you can get back to the top.

Ajaccio:

After 5 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, the visiting team is currently in 13th position, with 21 points won. In their last match, they beat Pau at home by (4‑1), after having drawn away in the previous match, in a match against Amiens SC, by (0‑0). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has registered 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 19 suffered; against 7 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats in their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 14 suffered. In their last 9 away matches for the championship, Ajaccio has recorded 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, for which they won 9 points out of 27 possible. In their away league matches, the most frequent final result at half ‑ time was 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). In his away matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since in 7 of the last 9 he played there were less than 3 goals. In 18 games in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 8 games in which he suffered the first goal. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 10 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (16’ ‑ 30 ‘).

Ajaccio lives in a good sequence of results and their intention is to continue like this to obtain a better position in the table. Despite facing an opponent who is better in the league table, he knows that Paris is not having a good time. Thus, he has to take advantage of it to go in search of a good result, but recognizing that the game will not be easy. So, he has to put together a strategy with which he can defend and attack, all with great balance, during the ninety minutes.


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,63
