Dunkerque vs Ajaccio prediction 25.11.2024 | Ligue 2

• Competition: Ligue 2
• Date: Monday, 25th November, 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stade Marcel Tribut (Dunkerque)

Dunkerque went between Ligue 2 and Championnat National in the last few years. This year, "The Seasiders" are trying to secure their first-ever appearance in the French top-flight division. Currently, they are in 3rd place with 25 points, just one point away from second-placed Lorient and two points away from the first-placed Paris FC. Even though almost no one considered them as a promotion candidate, they are playing great, and if they continue with such strong performances, especially at home, anything is possible.

After getting relegated from Ligue 1 in 2022/23, Ajaccio were fairly close to suffering their second relegation in a row as they finished 15th in Ligue 2 last year. This season, they continued with poor performances and are occupying 15th place with 14 points in 12 rounds. They are currently tied with Troyes and Red Star, which are in the relegation zone. The main issue this season is Ajaccio's terrible road record, and they will need to fix that in order to stay up.

Dunkerque vs Ajaccio pick: Dunkerque to win

Dunkerque have been excellent this season, winning eight out of 13 rounds - 61.5%. But they have been especially great at home, where they won six out of seven games, losing just against Annecy in the season's opener.

On the other hand, Ajaccio are in terrible form. They lost four out of the last five matches, even losing in the Cup against a fourth-tier team, Les Herbiers. As we already mentioned, Ajaccio's road record has been simply atrocious considering they lost six out of seven games.

In the previous h2h game at Stade Marcel Tribut, Dunkerque won 2:0. Considering the previous h2h game, the difference in form, and Ajaccio's terrible road record, we believe that the hosts should secure a comfortable win.
