Clermont to Win
Even though Clermont has a 12-point advantage over the first team beyond the relegation zone marking, their coach Pascal Gastien has stated that his team needs two wins from their next three matches to push the envelope a bit further. For this Clermont vs Ajaccio prediction, the hosts are looking for their tenth win of the season, but are weary about suffering their third straight defeat. Ajaccio is in a much worst state, they lost the last three games and have the worst efficiency rating in the league. The first match of the current season between these sides ended with a 3-1 Clermont victory.
Under 2.5 Goals

The home team had 12 of those matches from the 28 they played while Ajaccio had 13. Both sides had three games with fewer than three goals in the back of the net when we look at their last five encounters. The probability of the same thing happening again is high because of the stakes for this match.
