Ajaccio vs Marseille prediction 03.06.2023

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 3rd July 2023
• Time: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stade François Coty (Ajaccio)

The curtain is slowly coming down on this season of the French Ligue 1. After only one year, Ajaccio will return to the lower ranks, which they played 8 consecutive years before this season. Although they will end this season in the penultimate place in the table with 5 more points won compared to Angers, somehow the impression is that they showed the least and played the worst football. Even 26 defeats in 37 games played and only 22 goals scored is a really miserable result and many will rightfully say that they are returning to where they really belong Ligue 2.

On the other hand, Marseille played a slightly weaker season than the previous one, but the main goal was achieved, placing in the Champions League. There is a little disappointment in their camp because they dropped the second position they were in for a very long time, and that cost them a very weak finish of the season and even 3 defeats in the last 4 matches. That's why the 2:1 loss against Brest at home last week wasn't so painful because it was already clear that they couldn't overtake Lens, who played without a mistake in May. It is clear that this team needs a roster refresh in the summer transfer window in order to raise the level of their game.

Ajaccio vs Marseille pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

This should be a relaxed game without lots of pressure and hopefully plenty of goals. In the last month, Ajaccio has not been able to get the ball into the opponent's net, but that's why they regularly concede several goals. Maybe in this match, they will have an additional motive to say goodbye to Ligue 1 with a positive result in front of their fans and score at least 1 honorary goal. And Marseille also remained indebted to their fans because they were really unconvincing in the last two matches where they were defeated by an identical score of 2:1 against Lilles and Brest. It is interesting that Ajaccio achieved one of only 6 victories in the season against Marseille on the road in the first part of the season, also with a score of 2:1. Who knows, maybe that will be the result of this match as well...
