Lille to lose again?
Ajaccio might be new to Ligue 1 but we think they'll have too much for a Lille side whose confidence will be close to an all time low after they were stuffed 7-1 in their last outing. Ajaccio are yet to win since winning promotion but, last year, their home form was key and that is where they've picked up their only point so far this season. By contrast, Lille have only won one of their last five competitive away matches meaning there is every chance Ajaccio take the points.
Both sides will score
Our next tip for this game sees us backing both teams to find the net. Ajaccio have seen three of their last four matches end with goals at both ends whilst none of Lille's last three games have featured a clean sheet. Furthermore, the head to head record supports a ‘yes' bet too with three of the last five clashes between Ajaccio and Lille having featured goals for both teams. We see that happening again here.

Can Lille rebound from PSG mauling?
It's been a tough start to Ligue 1 for Ajaccio but they're not the team arriving here with their morale on the floor. Lille were embarrassed against PSG and will need a reaction. If that doesn't come early though, it could be a long old night.
Ajaccio haven't set the world alight in their first few games after winning promotion from the second tier but not have they been humiliated. Lille are a wounded animal right now and it's up to the hosts to further dent their confidence; will they make a fast start?
Ajaccio Predicted lineup – Leroy, Diallo, Mayembo, Gonzalez, Alphonse, Bayala, Marchetti, Mangani, Cimignani, Hamouma, El Idrissy
Whilst Lille arrive in this game as big favourites, you wonder just how fragile they might be mentally after such a heavy loss in their last outing. If they can get a foothold in the game early though confidence will grow and then, maybe, the likes of Yusuf Yazici can dictate things. Will they go with a completely changed lineup or go unchanged allowing those players to rebound after last week?
Lille Predicted lineup – Jardim, Diakite, Fonte, Alexsandro, Ismaily, Andre, Gomes, Yazici, Bamba, David, Gudmundsson
