Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
AC Ajaccio
Match Time & Date:
14/08/2022
15:00
Prediction: 2-3
Lens
After defeating Brest 3-2 in the opening match of the season, Lens will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Ajaccio on Matchday 2. The Yellow-Reds are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, and seeing that the club chiefs did well sign high-profile striker Lois Openda in the summer transfer window, away win should definitely be considered. Both Adam Buksa and Wuilker Farinez are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the away team.
Ajaccio, on the other hand, kicked off the new Ligue 1 campaign with a 2-1 loss to Lyon, and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the visiting side. To make things even worse for the hosts, forward Romain Hamouma misses out through suspension.
Highlighted Player (Seko Fofana):
Born in Paris on May 7, 1995, Seko Fofana is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side Udinese. Fofana started his career at the youth teams of Paris FC and in 2010 he moved to Lorient. After spending four years at the club, the French footballer joined Premier League side Manchester City in the 2013/2014 season.
Despite being a Man City player from 2014 to 2016, Seko Fofana did not see any game action in the English top flight with the Citizens as he was immediately sent on loan to Fulham (2014/2015). He played for Bastia on loan in the 2015/2016 season as well and in the summer of 2016 he signed a five-year deal with Italian side Udinese.
You should know that Fofana scored five goals in 22 appearances for the Zebrette in the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign. His contract with the Serie A team should expire on June 30, 2022. Due to his dual citizenship the Udinese footballer is eligible to play for France and Ivory Coast at senior level.
Highlighted Team (Lens):
Based in the Pas-De-Calais department, Lens is a French club that plays home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Sang et Or are well known for their red shirts with yellow stripes, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
The club was founded back in 1906 and the Sang et Or originally played in green and black shirts. Speaking of their home ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis can hold up to 38,058 spectators. The venue was opened back in 1933, and renovated during the 2014/15 season.
