Ajaccio and Troyes square off in a thrilling Ligue 1 relegation six-pointer at the Stade Francois Coty on Sunday (February 26).
Both sides are separated by just one point in the danger zone, making this contest a nicely poised and exciting one.
Ajaccio failed to move out of the drop zone, as they suffered a 3-0 loss against Lorient last Sunday.
Olivier Pantaloniβs men have now lost seven of their last eight games across competitions, including three consecutive losses. With 18 points from 24 games, Ajaccio are 19th in the points table, one point and two places below Troyes.
Meanwhile, Troyes head into the weekend knowing victory could send them into 15th place in the standings.
However, they're on a four-game losing streak in the league and have picked up just one point from their last 21 available since kicking off the year with a 3-2 win at Strasbourg.
While Troyes will look to stop the rot, they have struggled away from home, where they're on a run of six losses in their last seven games.
Ajaccio and Troyes find themselves languishing at the wrong end of the standings and will head into the weekend looking to pick up a morale-boosting result. They could cancel out each other out and end with a share of the spoils.
Prediction: Ajaccio 1-1 Troyes
