Under 2.5 Goals
Ajaccio had three out of the last five matches with more than three goals scored, but the last two games ended in the other direction. Those matches that went over the line were defeats without Ajaccio scoring a goal which has been their problem for most of the season. The home team's record for over/under matches is 13 games with at least three goals scored with 14 matches going differently. Monaco had 16 ‘over' games compared to eleven with fewer than three goals in the back of the net. Monaco had four out of the last five matches with over 2.5 goals, and regarding this team's h2h record, three out of the last five matches went over the line, and the first game of the current season ended with a 7-1 destruction of Ajaccio by the Monaco outfit. However, this Ajaccio vs Monaco prediction will count on the home team taking a defensive approach with efforts to subdue their opponent's superior talent.
Monaco to Win
