- Competition: Ligue 2

- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Stade Raymond Kopa
On Monday night, Angers will be hosting Ajaccio, hoping for a win that will bring them one step closer to an immediate return to the French top flight.
Following a catastrophic 2022-23 season, where they finished last in the French premier league, the hosts had to make a comeback. Indeed, the Black and Whites have lived up to expectations. Currently, Alexandre Dujeux’s team is in the second position in Ligue 2. If they can maintain this place, they are likely to earn a promotion at the season’s conclusion.
Ajaccio, on the other hand, were also demoted from France’s premier league at the culmination of the previous season. Olivier Pantaloni’s team has not quite managed to bounce back like the home team, but their recent performance has been commendable. The Bears have not lost in their last three league matches, securing two draws and one victory, and have only conceded one goal during this period.
Angers vs AC Ajaccio Betting Tips: Home team to win
Despite suffering losses without scoring in their last three games, Angers, also known as the Black and Whites, should not be dismissed at the Stade Raymond Kopa. With the best home record in their division, Alexandre Dujeux’s team has only fallen short in one out of their 13 home games this season, boasting ten victories and two ties.
This season, Ajaccio has struggled while on the road. They’ve only managed to secure two victories in their 13 away games and have suffered losses in five out of their last six away league matches. Moreover, they have consistently lost all their previous four away matches against Angers on this field in Ligue 2.
