📰 Team News: AC Ajaccio

Romain Hamouma (Unknown Injury), Thomas Mangani (Pneumothorax), Youssouf Koné (Sprained ankle), Yoann Touzghar (Stretched Ligament) and Vincent Marchetti (Hamstring Injury) won’t be playing for AC Ajaccio manager Olivier Pantaloni.

In our view, L 'Ours will possibly employ a 4-4-2 formation for this one and select Benjamin Leroy, Mohamed Youssouf, Oumar Gonzalez, Cedric Avinel, Ismael Diallo, Cyrille Bayala, Mathieu Coutadeur, Mickael Barreto, M. Youcef Belaili, Mounaim El Idrissy and M. Kalilou Djitte.

🗞️ Team News: Monaco

We believe Les Rouge et Blanc might utilise a 4-4-2 system using Alexander Nuebel, Ruben Aguilar, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripan, Caio Henrique, Krepin Diatta, Mohamed Camara, Youssouf Fofana, Takumi Minamino, Eliesse Ben Seghir and Wissam Ben Yedder.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that AC Ajaccio would be disappointed if they were not to put a goal past this Monaco lineup, however a single goal might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a narrow 1-2 victory for Monaco after 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
