AC Ajaccio take on the visitors Le Havre at “Stade Francois Coty” in the semi-final clash of Promotion Play Offs of the Ligue 2. The match will be played in Ajaccio on Friday, May 18th.
AC Ajaccio showed astonishing football in spring which allowed them to compete with Nimes for the second direct pass to the French elite division. However, having destroyed another club from Corsica - GFC Ajaccio with 4:0 scoreline, Nimes promoted to the Ligue 1 while “L'ours” slowed down at the end. In the latest fights conducted the side collected 0:2 defeat from Le Havre on the road together with two draws against Auxerre 1:1 at away field and Niort 2:2 in front of its supporters. As a result, AC Ajaccio finished the season sitting on the third position in the Ligue 2 table. The club occupied the second place in the home standings and fourth better defense (on average 0.95 goals conceded at its own field).

Le Havre have become the best team at the end of the season in the second division, having settled on the fourth place in the standings. In the recent battles “Les Ciel et Marine” celebrated three triumphs in a row over Niort 1:0, Reims 1:0 and Tours 2:0. The Play Offs quarter-final tackle hosted at “Stade Oceane” was complicated, but Oswald Tanchot’s side celebrated 2:0 victory which became the sixth in a row.
Under 2.5 goals were scored in last six head-to-heads between AC Ajaccio and Le Havre. Four recent clashes conducted at “Stade Francois Coty” ended with a minimal triumph of each rival and two draws: 0:0 and 1:1. At the moment Le Havre look a bit stronger, but they have applied many efforts in the clash against Brest. I expect for a tight battle because of an extremely high cost of any mistake.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
