Caen vs Ajaccio Prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - 20 September 2024
Caen
AC Ajaccio
On September 20, the Michel d'Ornaro will host the match of the 5th round of the French Ligue 2, in which Caen will play against Ajaccio. We share a detailed prediction from Dailysports experts.
“Caen”
The team at its peak, in the 90s of the last century, took fifth place in the championship and broke through to the European cups. Yes, and over the past two decades has repeatedly managed to rise in Ligue 1, and in 2014-2019 even spent there five seasons in a row. However, now it is a second-division midfielder. Last season, sixth place was taken, but without further success in the joints.
The new draw for the Vikings did not go well. It started with “dry” defeats, from “Paris” and “Po”. And only with “Annecy” at home, conceding first, clung to a draw. With “Grenoble” played only on Monday and scored an important quick goal. But then the difficulties began.
“Ajaccio”
The club for its more than a century of history has achieved little outstanding. Unless you count a number of victories in the local, Corsican League. At most it managed to get up to Ligue 1, but, as a rule, not for long. Moreover, last season the “bears” that took fifteenth place, wanted to be relegated because of financial problems. But they successfully won the appeal and stayed in Ligue 2.
And quite a decent team started there - without Pantaloni, who coached ten years in a row! With the replacement of Olivier Mathieu Schober managed to win both of their first two home games, against Rodez and Troyes. Although the trip to Red Star ended in a 0-1 defeat. But with “Laval” have already reduced at least to a draw.
Match facts
- “Caen” has lost seven of the ten most recent matches
