Nantes is priced as the underdogs to win against AC Ajaccio despite having a better season than the hosts. The away team cannot afford to drop points as the other teams are closing down on them and with Nantes' recent performances, an away win or draw (+0.5) is the best option to bet on.

AC Ajaccio hosts Nantes at the Stade Francois Coty on Sunday in the twenty second round of games in the French Ligue One.

Nantes saw their unbeaten streak come to an end against Marseille last week but they would find some consolation in their performance as they made things difficult for a strong Marseille side. The away team is currently thirteenth in the league with 22 points this season. Nantes has improved since the start of the year and that has been due to the improvement in their defense.

The visitors have avoided defeat six times in their last seven games, with only one loss this year. Nantes has kept five clean sheets in their last six games, they are easily one of the best teams at the back currently and it would take a very strong attack to break them down. AC Ajaccio doesn't have very good players up front and Nantes' defense should be enough to secure the away team a win or draw.

AC Ajaccio saw their losing streak of four games come to an end against Angers. That was their easiest game of the season as they faced the bottom team in the league. AC Ajaccio still struggled against Angers as they had to comeback from a goal deficit to claim all three points.

The hosts have lost 13 out of 21 games in the French Ligue One this season — the third most losses in the division. Nantes has only lost seven times this season and a majority of those defeats were against teams in the top half of the table. They have always found their way around struggling teams like AC Ajaccio.

Nantes has not lost a single competitive game against AC Ajaccio in five games. They have won three of those matches while two of those games ended in a tie. Nantes has more than enough to beat AC Ajaccio but it would be safer backing the away team to win or draw.

Lorient is up against Angers in the French Ligue One. The hosts are in need of a response after a tough start to the month. They would licking their lips at the opportunity of facing the worst team in the league. A home win is the best offer from the bookies in this game.

Angers visits Lorient at the Stade Yves Allainmat on Sunday in the 22nd round of games in the French Ligue One.

Lorient tasted defeat for the first time in three games last week away to Reims. In all fairness, Lorient aren't a good team away from home and that result doesn't tell the whole story about their season. They have put in better performances at home and their last game at this venue was a 2-1 win against Rennes.

The home team were close to finishing in the top five last season but a poor outing in the second half of the season saw them finish outside European spots. Lorient is just five points behind the top five and they have the easiest fixture among the teams battling for a top four finish.

Angers continued their poor run with a 2-1 defeat at home to AC Ajaccio. They have now lost five consecutive games in the French Ligue One and are easily the worst side in the top flight. Angers has picked up just eight points from twenty one games this season. This is one of the lowest point tally among teams in the top five European leagues.

Abdel Bouhazama's side has lost over eighty percent of their league games with 17 losses in the first half of the season. Angers' only victory in the last two months was against a fourth division team in the Coupé de France. The home team are the bookies favorites to end in the relegation zone.

Lorient has not lost in the last two games against Angers. The last meeting between these two teams was in January this year and Lorient still has a fresh memory of a 2-1 win against Angers. Not much has changed since then and it's even fair to say Angers has declined few weeks later. Playing away at Lorient is a nightmare even for the big teams in the league, and we expect an easy win for this hosts.
