Lens to Win-to-Nil
The first Lens vs Ajaccio prediction is about the home team and their season-best defensive line. Ajaccio has been relegated, so the job should be even more easier for Lens who are a win away from officially securing a Champions League spot next season. This will be the culmination of a terrific season for the home team who had only a minor crisis in the middle of the year before regaining their composure and moving into the top threefold. How good and consistent Lens was throughout the season can be seen in their home record which is the best in Ligue 1 standing at 16 wins and only one draw, as well as a loss. Lens also has the best defense in the league, they are the only team that didn't concede more than 30 goals this term. At the same time, Ajaccio's scoring record is so dismal that they failed to get on the scoresheet in their last five matches.
Over 2.5 Goals
Ajaccio looks deflated which is not a surprise considering that they are already relegated and the club is preparing for a return to Ligue 2 next season. This is the end many in the club were hoping to avoid, but at the end of the day, realizing it was something that was not realistically avoidable. Lens hasn't been the best over 2.5 goals team this season, but they were a part of those kinds of matches in four out of their last five outings. Ajaccio had three games of more than two goals scored out of the last five. Looking at the Lens vs Ajaccio h2h matchup, only two matches from their past five encounters went over the line.

Lens vs Ajaccio Lineups, Team Information, Match Preview
Lens
Everything for Lens, up until this point of the season, goes down to a single game. They were hoping that a title was possible at one stage of the season but soon realized that is tough to follow the standard put out there by PSG. But, there was a secondary goal which is almost as high as it gets and that is qualifying for the Champions League. Steven Fortes, Mamadou Camara, Yannick Pandor, Wuilker Farinez, and Jimmy Cabot are injured while Przemyslaw Frankowski is suspended.
Probable lineup: Samba, Gradit, Onana, Medina, Abdul Samed, Fofana, Machado, Fulgini, Sotoca, Thomasson, Openda.
Ajaccio
There is not much that can be said about the team that has been already relegated and have the worst efficiency rating in the league. Ajaccio managed to score only 22 goals in 36 matches which says everything that we need to know about this team. They haven't scored a goal in their last five games. Thomas Mangani and Mickael Alphonse are suspended for the visiting team while Francois-Joseph Sollacaro, Youssouf Kone, Ismael Diallo, Vincent Marchetti, Romain Hamouma, and Yoann Touzghar are injured.
Probable lineup: Leroy, Vidal, Alhadhur, Gonzalez, Youssouf, Chegra, Barreto, Coutadeur, Spadanuda, El Idrissy, Soumano.
Player to Watch: Florian Sotoca
The French center-forward has done well to complement star striker Lois Openda at the front of the starting lineup for Lens. He is second in scoring with seven goals but leads the team in the assists department with nine.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
