Rodez vs AC Ajaccio Prediction & Betting Tips (17 May)

Rodez is likely to be downgraded at the end of this 2023-2024 season. But for the right reasons. Because by being in 5th position in the ranking with 2 points ahead of its first pursuer, Raf has a very good chance of being able to play the play-offs of this championship and it could even steal 4th place from Paris FC which does not count only a small point ahead. Very serious until the end of April, Didier Santini's men were able to win against Auxerre 2-0, Paris FC 1-0 and Concarneau 1-2 before missing the boat against Annecy 1- 3. Finally, last weekend, they went for a good draw on the side of Saint-Etienne 1-1.

If this end of the season is full of interest on the side of Rodez, the same cannot be said for the AC Ajaccio which is just waiting to go on vacation and has been doing so for several weeks now. Relegated to 14th place in the rankings, Olivier Pantaloni's men have never really shone after their relegation from Ligue 1 last year. The Corsicans have even been freewheeling for some time with 3 defeats conceded in their last 4 matches played against Valenciennes 1-0, Quevilly Rouen Métropole 1-1, Bordeaux 4-0 and Grenoble 1-2.

For Raf, the starting goalkeeper Mpasi and the right piston Buades (2 goals, 6 assists) are still not able to leave the infirmary where the replacements Valerio and Depres also appear. Defenders Chougrani and Vandenabeele no longer fit into Didier Santini's plans. A little tight to start against the Greens, number 2 goalkeeper Cibois could find his place in the cages unless the young Jaouen is preferred.

Up front, the formidable Corredor (12 goals, 6 assists) and the player on loan from Caen Hountondji (13 goals) will be there, supported by midfielders Rajot (6 goals) and Danger (5 goals, 3 assists) and the young Arconte (6 goals, 2 assists).
