Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
There will be fireworks when Nantes and Ajaccio face each other in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer on Sunday. Les Canaris suffered yet another disappointing defeat at the weekend, with the team losing to Reims on the road on Matchday 14, but they are certainly capable of matching Ajaccio on home soil. Experienced defender Nicolas Pallois is back from suspension, while all Fabio da Silva, Denis Patric, and Charles Traore miss out with injuries.
Olivier Pantaloni’s troops, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to beat Strasbourg 4-2 at the weekend, but they need to keep on making progress in order to avoid relegation. Speaking of the away team, both Clement Vidal and Cedric Avinel are banned for the match, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Nantes this time out. You should know that Ajaccio were beaten by Auxerre in their last away game in the French top flight.
Highlighted Player (Alban Lafont):
Alban Lafont is a French goalkeeper who plays for Ligue 1 side Toulouse. Born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Lafont joined AS Lattoise youth school at the age of nine and he stayed at the academy until 2014 when he moved to Toulouse.
The 193-cm-tall goalkeeper has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at Toulouse and it has to be noted that he made 36 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 season, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process. Due to his dual citizenship, Alban Lafont is eligible to represent both Burkina Faso and France on international stage, but he has yet to play for the African team.
Alban Lafont represented les Tricolores at youth level and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of the talented shoot-stopper who was born on January 23, 1999. The rising star has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.
