Contents
Monaco to Win and Both Teams to Score
Monaco have taken seven points from a possible nine in Ligue 1 since the campaign’s post-World Cup resumption, and while they look favourites to add another victory to their string on Sunday, a clean sheet might be more difficult to secure against Ajaccio. Monaco conceded twice in two of their first three league games back in the saddle and with their defence night quite at it, our first prediction recommends combining a home win with both teams to score this weekend.
Wissam Ben Yedder to Score Anytime
Monaco star Wissam Ben Yedder is a seasoned goal-scorer and one of the most reliable chance-finishers in Ligue 1 and the 32-year-old notched for the third time in four domestic appearances when he netted at Lorient in midweek. Ben Yedder looks well on course to hit 20 goals for the third campaign in a row for Monaco and he can boost his tally further with another striker on Sunday against Ajaccio.

Monaco vs Ajaccio Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Ligue 1 tussle between Monaco and Ajaccio.
Monaco
Kevin Volland is still working his way back from a rib injury for Monaco, though fellow attacker Willem Geubbels could be back in contention following a muscle tweak. Monaco rescued a point at Lorient in midweek in the 93rd minute thanks to a dramatic Wissam Ben Yedder equalizer.
Predicted Lineup for Monaco: Nubel – Vanderson, Disasi, Maripan, Henrique – Fofana, Camara, Diatta, Golovin – Ben Yedder, Embolo
Ajaccio
Defender Youssouf Kone is joined on the sidelines by midfielders Yoann Touzghar, Mathieu Coutadeur, Kevin Spadanuda and Mickael Barreto this weekend, while attacker Romain Hamouma is also in the treatment room for Ajaccio. Ajaccio have lost twice on the bounce in Ligue 1.
Predicted Lineup for Ajaccio: Leroy – Youssouf, Gonzalez. Mayembo, Diallo – Bayala, Marchetti, Mangani, Nouri – El Idrissy, Moussiti-Oko
Player to Watch – Eliesse Ben Seghir
17-year-old Eliesse Ben Seghir burst onto the scene on December 28th when he struck a superb brace in Monaco’s 3-2 win at Auxerre and the talented teenager earned a starting spot against both Brest and Lorient in subsequent matches. Ben Seghir might be a sub again on Sunday, but watch out for a possible impact off the bench from the precocious talent.
