Both Teams to Score – No
The logic behind this Ajaccio vs Montpellier prediction lies behind the fact that Ajaccio had four from their last five games without both teams scoring a goal, while at the same time, Montpellier played the same amount of games with the score in question. Even when we look at the stats from the matches they played against each other, it is obvious these teams have trouble scoring goals. From the last ten outings between them looking at league, cup, and friendly matches in that period, in only three both teams scored a goal.
Under 2.5 Goals
The same explanation applies to the second prediction for Ajaccio vs Montpellier duel. Four of the last five matches these squads played against one another ended with fewer than three goals in the back of the net. Looking at their current form, Ajaccio had two out of the last five matches with under 2.5 goals while the visiting team had three. For the season, Ajaccio played 13 games where teams failed to score more than twice, at the same time, Montpellier had three more matches with the same line. However, it is worth noting that the guest side played most of these games in the first part of the season when they were involved in some high scoring matches.

Ajaccio vs Montpellier Lineups, Team Information, and Preview
Ajaccio
The home team has the worst efficiency rating in the league, and that problem, it seems, is unsolvable for coach Olivier Pantaloni. Ajaccio managed to score only twenty goals this season, and after losing four from their last five matches they are not very optimistic about their chances of surviving the season. With some games left before the season's end, it is viable that there could be a solution found to their situation. However, Pantaloni is also facing a long injury list for the match this weekend: Ismael Diallo, Vincent Marchetti, Thomas Mangani, Yoann Touzghar, and Youssouf Kone are out with injuries.
Provisional lineup: Leroy, Youssouf, Vidal, Avinel, Alphonse, Bayala, Barreto, Coutadeur, Belaili, El Idrissy, Hamouma.
Montpellier
There were some tough times for Montpellier this season, but things are looking brighter lately. The team has gelled at the right time and is on its way to staying in Ligue 1 even though it didn't look that way a couple of months ago. Enzo Tchato, Maxime Esteve, Beni Makouna, and Leo Leroy are the players missing through injury.
Provisional lineup: Lecomte, Sylla, Kouyate, Jullien, Sacko, Chotard, Ferri, Maouassa, Savanier, Nordin, Khazri.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Teji Savanier
If a player scores ten goals from the midfield area one can suggest that he has been having a great season. That is the case with Teji Savanier who leads Montpellier in scoring and is the key member of the visiting squad. Savanier also added a single assist to his season's resume.
