Lyon vs AC Ajaccio Prediction & Betting tips
Ajaccio wants to annoy Lyon in the Coupe de France! The second division team has ambitions to join the top Ligue 1 team, but Lyon are in good shape and are playing a very impressive season. In order to create a surprise, almost everything has to be right for the guest.
For the host, this game is nothing more and nothing less than a chore. But this must also be met. Kick-off is on Tuesday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Lyon :
The 2020/21 season has been a very successful one for the host from Lyon so far. The fact that the team is not active in international business had a positive effect on the consistency. The result: Olympique Lyon are in a very good second place in the Ligue 1 table and are fighting for the title with Lille and PSG.
Lyon won the dress rehearsal for the game against Ajaccio on Saturday 3-0 against Strasbourg, and coach Rudi Garcia’s team showed no weakness. Anything but a win for the home side after 90 minutes would be a big surprise.
Lyon won the last four league games. Even better: three of these games were won with zero. The 5-0 away game in the derby at Saint-Etienne was particularly impressive. With only two goals conceded in the last five games, the defense is currently performing very well, but the balance is right all round.
Against Ajaccio, coach Garcia should change a few things in the starting line-up and rotate a little. That could create a bit of a mess at least early in the game. Too much rotation is not always good, which is why the odds are not too tempting ahead of the Lyon game against Ajaccio for a big win for “Les Gones”.
The home record is very good this season. Eight of the twelve games could be won, only one defeat Lyon suffered. In addition, the Garcia-Elf scored a very strong 28 goals in twelve home games. The team is offensive and always hungry for goals.
Ajaccio:
Ajaccio plays in Ligue 2 and is in the secured midfield there. The team is not one of the top teams in the second division, but is also not completely harmless. Before such a game against a clear favorite, you are always particularly motivated as an outsider.
The team from the Mediterranean island of Corsica has big plans and has achieved good results in the last few weeks. Ajaccio only lost one of the last ten competitive games and celebrated six wins during this time. The distribution of roles becomes very clear if you look at the odds that both teams will score before the game Lyon against Ajaccio.
The guests want to surprise in Lyon, they have to display the typical virtues that are indispensable for an outsider in such a game. It takes defensive compactness and at the same time the courage to play forward. Needle pricks must be placed to alert the favorite. Walling for 90 minutes only works in the rarest of cases.
The guest from Ajaccio often has a hard time away from home this season. Only three wins could be achieved in twelve games, there is a significant discrepancy between home and away appearances. This is another reason why the pendulum swings in the direction of the favorite and for this reason our tip before the game Lyon vs. Ajaccio is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.
In contrast to the host, guest coach Pantaloni will bring up his best team.
