Ajaccio v Caen : Ligue 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 17th Jan, 19:00 BST, Stade François-Coty, Ajaccio

Mathieu Chabert and Nicolas Seube pit their wits in the Ligue 2 on Friday evening, as Ajaccio face Caen at the Stade François-Coty. We've got predictions, tips, and odds from leading bookmakers and head-to-head statistics across the biggest markets, so there's nowhere better to prepare Ligue 2 clash.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that there's minimal chance that this fixture will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Ajaccio and Caen have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Ligue 2 individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.20.
