View moreOutcome Breakdown
Lille looking to extend 13-game unbeaten home run as Ajaccio visits.
Facing an uphill battle to break a winless streak, AC Ajaccio visit an unbeaten-at-home LOSC Lille, who are eager to boost their top-four aspirations this Saturday at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
LOSC Lille
Lille were unable to find a way past Auxerre and had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy last weekend. They remain unbeaten in two games, WWLWD, while in 5th place, having picked up 56 points after 16 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses.
Lille are five points adrift of the top four but hope to pick up a win here and close in on the section. Les Dogues have won their last eight Ligue 1 games against the Bears and are looking to add one more to the tally.
Furthermore, they are on a seven-game winning run at home against newly promoted sides such as Ajaccio since November 2019. Les Dogues scored 21 times and conceded only three goals in those seven episodes.
They are unbeaten in 13 Ligue 1 home games (9W, 4D, 0L), an ongoing unbeaten run that remains the longest in the league. It is also Lille’s longest unbeaten home streak since they went on a 14-game unbeaten run at home back in 2011.
A 4-2-3-1 formation with Jonathan David at the top is expected from Paulo Fonseca against AC Ajaccio on Saturday. David, who has four assists, is the club’s top scorer with 21 goals this season and accounts for 44 percent of the club's 57 goals.
On availability, Tiago Djaló is ruled out, while Adam Ounas is in doubt for the weekend’s clash.
Ajaccio
AC Ajaccio remained without a win in five games [LLLLD] following a goalless draw with Brest at the weekend. The Bears held on for a point despite playing a sizeable portion of the second half with a numerical deficit after Yoann Touzghar [R. 66’] was sent off just minutes after the break.
Ajaccio are in 19th place with 22 points [6W, 4D, & 22L] ahead of this fixture against Lille. The visitors are 10 points shy of safety and are almost certain to see the drop with just six games left to play.
Ajaccio have scored only twice in six games, but despite having the worst attack in the league, they will be looking to put one past Lille on Saturday. Olivier Pantaloni could appear with the 4—4—2 formation, featuring Romain Hamouma and Mounaïm El Idrissy in attack.
Yoann Touzghar is ruled out of the weekend’s game following his red card against Brest. Meanwhile, Mickaël Alphonse’s availability remains in doubt.
