Reims to Win
This Reims vs Ajaccio prediction should be resolved with the home team getting a win based on the current ranking and the fact that their opponents are the least effective team in Ligue 1. Reims had the most draw games in the league, and by a large margin, they had 13, and two in their past five matches. However, they also won three times in that period which put them inside the top 10 of the Ligue 1 rankings. The home side also has eight wins for the season with only four losses which is the third-best mark in the league behind PSG and Lens. At their home stadium, Reims won four of the last five games. Ajaccio has won two games out of the last five encounters with three losses in between. They have scored three away wins this season, but only one in their last five games with four losses in that period. When we check their h2h record, Reims won four straight games, and the last time Ajaccio took home a victory was in 2016.
Under 2.5 Goals
It seems logical that for Reims vs Ajaccio, we look at the game that will be potentially a low-scoring affair. Ajaccio has scored only 20 goals this season, but the curious thing is that they had four out of the last five matches with over 2.5 goals. Maybe it's time to change that narrative. Reims is, on the other hand, a top three ‘under' team with 15 games of fewer than three goals in the back of the net. Out of their last five h2h games, only one went over the 2.5 goals mark, and the other four had the same 1-0 score including the first match between these sides this season.

Team News, Preview, and Reims vs Ajaccio Lineups
Reims
There are not many people who thought that Reims would have such a good season, but few believed that Folarin Balogun will be such a success. The on-loan striker from Arsenal has been filling up the stat sheet since arriving last summer and has netted 15 goals this term. The attempts to sign him long-term was unsuccessful which was not a surprise. Reims only has Emmanuel Agbadou as an injury concern.
Predicted lineup: Diouf, De Smet, Abdelhamid, Keita, Foket, Lopy, Matusiwa, Flips, Munetsi, Ito, Balogun.
Ajaccio
After losing three straight games, Ajaccio finally beat someone, last weekend they overcome fellow strugglers Troyes 2-1, after going down by a goal during the first half. They are the least efficient team in the league this season scoring only 20 goals but somehow managed to get two past Troyes's defense. Going against Reims will be a different proposition. Thomas Mangani, Yoann Touzghar, and Youssouf Kone are injured.
Predicted lineup: Leroy, Diallo, Avinel, Gonzalez, Vidal, Hamouma, Coutadeur, Marchetti, Bayala, Belaili, El Idrissy.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Junya Ito
The Japanese right-wing player was bought from Genk last summer and his impact on Reims has been felt immediately. He has scored five goals and assisted on four occasions playing in 22 matches. He is involved in creating goals even in situations where he isn't a direct assist maker, but rather a player who starts the sequence that leads to a goal which is sometimes as important as being the one who created the chance.
