Ajaccio vs Bastia Betting Tips: Ajaccio to win

Both Ajaccio and Bastia come into this Ligue 2 match in somewhat up-and-down form in Ligue 2 this season. 

Ajaccio, who were relegated from Ligue 1 last season, currently sit in the 13th position. They've only managed to pick up two wins out of eight games this season (W2, D4, L2). However, they did gain a vital 2-1 victory against Paris FC in their previous match.

Bastia's recent form has taken a nosedive, with only one point earned from their last four Ligue 2 fixtures. They picked up a point against Grenoble but then suffered consecutive losses to Laval, Angers, and Pau. The visitors leaked nine goals in those three defeats.

Bastia has a solid record against Ajaccio since 2003, with 14 wins and 7 losses in 26 games over the past two decades. In their most recent encounter in 2022, Bastia secured a 1-0 win at this venue.

However, it´s hard to see the visitors getting back to winning ways on Monday, even if Ajaccio have yet to convince following their relegation from Ligue 1. 

Ultimately, neither team particularly stands out as a clear favourite in this matchup, and both have shown inconsistency in terms of scoring goals. 

However, Ajaccio is expected to have enough quality to secure a narrow victory against a Bastia side badly short of form in September.
