Bitesize Prediction: AC Ajaccio vs Dunkerque – 03/03/25

Competition: Ligue 2

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/7 @ Pribet

Hoping to move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots, Dunkerque will travel to Corsica when they meet AC Ajaccio on Monday night.

Starting with the hosts, while some in AC Ajaccio’s camp might still be looking over their shoulder at another looming Ligue 2 relegation scrap, the Bears are enjoying what has become a sensational purple patch. Skyrocketing themselves out of the drop zone and turning a major corner over the past six weeks, it appears that the mood around Corsica is at a red-hot high. Despite getting February underway with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Guingamp, Ajaccio have proven that downbeat display was nothing more than a minor blip. Including a dominant 3-0 victory against Laval last month, Monday’s hosts have remarkably won five of their previous six Ligue 2 showdowns. Dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine top-half charge, the Bears will be looking to make another statement here. Gaining a reputation for their enjoyable outings, it should be noted that AC Ajaccio have seen all other last four matchups at the Stade Michel Moretti finish with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has become a record-breaking romp this season, Dunkerque have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across France. Extending on their iconic Coupe de France adventure last week as they secured a famous 3-2 victory away at Ligue 1 outings Brest, Luis Castro’s side are riding a remarkable wave of momentum. Likewise, last seen in second-tier action cruising their way to a 3-0 romp against Clermont, the Blues have now won each of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Continuing to collect a string of heavyweight scalps this season, Monday’s guests know that another victory here would move them within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots. Winning their last three Ligue 2 showdowns by an aggregate score of 6-0, Dunkerque have also found a real clinical edge in the final third. In fact, the Seasiders have registered 11 goals in their previous five matchups away from the Stade Marcel-Tribut.
