Dunkerque will be looking to keep alive their hopes of a promotion to the French top flight at the end of the season when they face Ajaccio away on Monday.
Ajaccio dropped out of Ligue 1 two seasons ago and don't look like a team that's going to get promoted any time soon. The hosts are just five points off the bottom three, but their recent form has been pretty good. Thierry Debès' side have won each of their last two games and failed to win just one of their last six.
Dunkerque are also in fine form. The visitors shocked the football world with a 3:2 win over Brest last time out, with Opa Sanganté coming off the bench and scoring twice. Ferreira De Castro's side have now won each of their last four matches and also scored exactly three goals in each of the last two.
Ajaccio vs Dunkerque Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although wins have been hard to come by for Ajaccio this season, they have been pretty solid defensively, conceding the fewest goals of all the teams in the bottom nine and kept a clean sheet in all but one of their last four outings.
Dunkerque have also been pretty solid defensively in their recent Ligue 2 encounters. The visitors conceded under one goal in each of their last nine league encounters and I fancy them to extend that run on Monday evening against Ajaccio.

Ajaccio team news
Matthieu Huard is doubt for Ajaccio head coach Thierry Debès on Monday after the defender lasted only 45 minutes in the win over Metz last time out.
Jacob Andersen has missed the last five games through a cruciate ligament injury and Monday’s game will come too soon for the Right-back.
