Ajaccio to Win
There is not much that separates the two teams. Both are in the bottom four of the league table which means if the championships ended today, they would be relegated. There is a still good chance that this might happen when the season comes to a close in the springtime, but right now Ajaccio will look to take the advantage of playing in front of their fans for the first game back. Angers lost seven games in a row which is a streak they are eager to conclude.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Even though they are not versed in scoring a lot of goals, they are sharing the same taste for bad defending. However, one is certainly worse than the other, Angers conceded 34 goals this season, the highest mark in the league.

No time to waste
Ajaccio
When you are struggling as a team, you need to figure out how to make the best out of a bad situation. The hosts don't have any injury-related issues, which will come in as particularly good news for coach Olivier Panataloni. His club decided that they don't need many friendly matches to see how their training was going during the break, playing only once and defeating St. Etienne. Ajaccio is one of only two teams in the league who haven't scored as many goals as the games they played. It's a strange stat to have, but they only recorded 14 goals in 15 matches, the same amount as Auxerre. Ajaccio is defending well considering all the problems they have with winning games, and being in the relegation zone.
Ajaccio's predicted starting 11: Leroy, Youssouf, Gonzalez, Diallo, Kone, Nouri, Marchetti, Coutadeur, Belaili, El Idrissy, Hamouma.
Angers
There are not many positives from the season Angers is having. They won only a couple of times, and are the only team in the league with a single-digit points total of eight. They have the worst defense in the league and are trying to figure out how to get their attack in order, at least to counter the way they are conceding goals regularly. Contrary to their opponents, Angers played a lot of friendly matches in a month and a half period, during the World Cup break, four in all and winning only their last one against the Second Division team Laval. They did score some goals during that period which is at least some form of good news. The team coached by Abdel Bouhazama, who was appointed in November, will be a missing couple of injured players, Ali Kalla and Ulrick Eneme-Ella.
Angers' predicted starting 11: Fofana, El Melaili, Valery, Blazic, Hountondji, Doumbia, Capelle, Bentaleb, Hunou, Salama, Sima.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
AC Ajaccio
Angers
Player to Watch: Mounaim El Idrissy
There are not many players on both teams who could be marked as star players, but El Idrissy is certainly one to watch when it comes to Ajaccio. He scored three goals this season with a single assist, he will represent one of the biggest obstacles for the problematic Angers defense.
