Guingamp vs Ajaccio Prediction 18.09.2023

• Competition: France - Ligue 2
• Date: Monday, 18th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20.45 CEST
• Venue: Stade du Roudourou (Guingamp)

With the aim of climbing to desired positions, Guingamp will be on the hunt for a victory as they host AC Ajaccio at their Stade de Roudourou in the sixth round of the French Ligue 2 on Monday.

Despite showing signs of improvement under Stephane Dumont's leadership, it appears that the Bretons are still far from positions worthy of promotion to the top division of French football. After finding themselves in sixth place in the last two Ligue 2 campaigns, Guingamp will try to sneak into the top five this season, in order to gain a chance to fight for entry into the top-tier. Nevertheless, the club's current situation doesn't look too promising, given that Les Guingampais have displayed variable form in the opening five rounds, collecting seven points (W2, D1, L2).

Following an eight-year hiatus, Ajaccio finally made their comeback to the elite ranks of French football last season. Unfortunately, their return to Ligue 1 proved to be short-lived, as they finished in 18th place and suffered relegation after just one season. Indeed, Corsica suffered greatly last term due to their offensive struggles, scoring only 23 goals in 38 rounds, making survival in the top-tier an unrealistic expectation. Now, as members of Ligue 2, Ajaccio aims for a swift return. In order to achieve that goal, they have to turn their draws into wins, since after the five opening rounds they shared the points three times, with one win and a loss.

Guingamp recently put on a football spectacle in front of their passionate fans, thrashing Pau 4-0 in their last home match, and they are eagerly looking to give their loyal supporters another reason to celebrate next Monday. In addition, their opponent Ajaccio is going through difficult times, with three consecutive matches without a win (two draws and one loss), which sounds like an alarm bell. However, it seems they don't have the secret formula for success against Guingamp.

It's been 15 long years since Ajaccio celebrated a win against the Breton club, with the last triumph occurring in 2008. During this period, the Corsicans have suffered six defeats along with four draws, highlighting the need for something extraordinary to crack this tough nut. Fueled by their recent dominant home win and with the support of their fans, Guingamp will be motivated to claim all three points on Monday.
