Ajaccio Double Chance
Ajaccio have re-started their campaign in decent fashion following a return of two wins from three matches in league and cup, and more points could be gathered from their test against Reims on Wednesday evening. The visitors are one of Ligue 1’s draw specialists on the road, where six of their nine assignments this term have ended in stalemate. Their inability to turn draws into wins on their travels makes backing Ajaccio in the double chance market an appealing prospect this week.
Under 2.5 Goals
Reims boss William Still likes to keep things tight in away fixtures and as a consequence, many of their matches on the road have been low-scoring affairs. Indeed, six of Reims’ last seven away games have featured under 2.5 goals and we expect margins to be slim again when they visit the Stade François Coty on Wednesday. Ajaccio have been averaging less than one goal per game at that venue in Ligue 1 this term, and another stake on under 2.5 goals looks like a snug fit for the factors at play.

Ajaccio vs Reims Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Wednesday’s Ligue 1 bout between Ajaccio and Reims below.
Ajaccio
Ajaccio could be without a trio of midfielders on Wednesday with Jean Boutet, Kevin Spadanuda and Mickael Barreto all listed as absent. Ajaccio rested some players for their cup win at lower-league Jura Sud Foot last time out, so expect a full complement of stars to be restored to their XI in midweek.
Predicted Lineup for Ajaccio: Leroy – Youssouf, Gonzalez, Diallo, Kone – Nouri, Marchetti, Coutadeur, Belaili – El Idrissy, Touzghar
Reims
Nathanael Mbuku is missing from Reims' attacking options at present, though personnel issues are few and far between elsewhere. Reims hammed Loon-Plage 7-0 in the Coupe de France in their last outing, six days after they picked up a useful point at Lille in Ligue 1.
Predicted Lineup for Reims: Diouf – Foket, Agbadou, Abdelhamid, De Smet – Munetsi, Matusiwa, Ito, Flips, Van Bergen – Holm
Player to Watch – Youcef Belaïli
Algerian winger Youcef Belaïli has scored four times and claimed two assists in his last five Ligue 1 appearances for Ajaccio when you combine his flurry of runouts from before and after the mid-season break, and the 30-year-old will hope to be just as impactful when he lines up against Reims on Wednesday evening.
