This is the last 29th round of the French Ligue 2 fixtures between GFC Ajaccio v Lens. The match is scheduled for kick-off at exactly 20:45 and it will be taking place at the Stade Ange Casanova stadium, home ground of the host GFC Ajaccio. Tonight clash between this two sides is definitely going to be a fierce duel because the both teams are in desperate need of a victory for personal purposes. Currently on the Ligue 2 rankings, Ajaccio is stalked at the 16th position with just 30 points after 28 rounds. They are just 3 points above the relegation threatened team Sochaux, and if care is not taking Gazelec Ajaccio might fall deeper into the relegation zone due to their poor performances in the domestic league. However, being able to play at home will be an added advantage for the host against Lens, and it will also be a huge challenge for coach Maggiore and his players because of their poor run of form at home, with the team not winning any of their last 6 matches at the Ange Casanova Arena, since last year November. On the other hand the guest, Lens is ranked 5th on the league rankings, and also they are on full determination to promote to the French top tier division next season. With their recent performance, it will surely not going to be an easy game for the host Ajaccio to earn just a point, let alone win tonight.
GFC AJACCIO
Tonights clash against Lens is a must win for the host if they really want to save their disappointing season thus far. but the performance in which Ajaccio is showing recently is completely contrary to the expectations of fans. They are seriously having a bad run of form in both their home and away fixtures in all competitions. The last time the team won at home in the league was against Troyes, and that was last year November, with a score line of 2-1. After that, the team has recorded a series of unfavoured results at their turf. Coming to this game, Everything seems to be more disadvantageous for the Bistrot, when they have to face an in form Lens team whom are enjoying a stellar performance in the second half of the season. The host will have to gather its full confidence back if at all they want to get a point in this match tonight.
LENS
The visitors Lens are currently sitting at the 5th position on the league rankings with 48 points after 28 rounds of matches played in the league so far. Thanks to the draw game between Lorient and Brest yesterday, Lens will move up in rankings to the 3rd position if they can manage to win tonight match against struggling GFC Ajaccio side. This will surely be an task for Lens considering the fact that Ajaccio are not playing to their best of recent and also they have not tasted a single victory at home in their last 6 matches. The recent form of the guests is also quite good compared to the host. They have managed to win 3 games, with 1 draw and just 1 defeat, in their last 5 previous games. It will only be a matter of time for the visitors to get their maximum 3 points at the Ange Casanova Stadium, and to achieve that, Lens will have to play with full concentration and focus as they did in their previous games.
