In this week 20 match on the 8th of January, Amiens SC will host Ajaccio at Stade Crédit Agricole De La Licorne in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Amiens SC is fresh off their 3-3 draw against Linas-Montlhery. Eddy Gnahoré struck first for Amiens SC in the 48th minute on a feed from Jack Lahne, then Chadrac Akolo added another in the 50th minute on a feed from Iron Gomis. Amiens SC should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while 1st placed Ajaccio is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Grenoble Foot 38. Riad Nouri struck first for Ajaccio in the 49th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Grenoble Foot 38 was frustrated by Ajaccio’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Ajaccio ended the match with the shutout victory. Ajaccio is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
Ajaccio and Amiens SC last played eachother at the Stade François Coty on the 31st of July. Ajaccio was victorious by a score of 3 to 1.
