Ajaccio have been the whipping boys of this Ligue One season. They are not even in the relegation battle. Their fate has almost been sealed. Even if they win all their remaining seven matches, which in itself is a tall order, they may not survive for another season. They would still need other results go in their favour. Olympique Marseille – who themselves have been struggling of late – will hope that their opponent’s form does not improve any more, as they would kill for a weak opponent at this stage.

Marseille had an excellent chance to secure a continental league berth. But now, after a string of poor results, their chance seems to have come and gone. They are sixth in the league, with realistically no chance of breaking into the top four which would guarantee European league matches.

The team has been winless in the last five games. The game against Ajaccio should be their best chance of breaking the barren run.

Ajaccio have managed just three wins from 31 games in the season so far. Their current league position sums up their situation: last in the league and trailing the next highest team by seven points.

Marseille’s strikers Andre-Pierre Gignac and Dimitri Payet will hope to enhance their goal tallies against the weakest defence in the French Ligue One. Ajaccio’s attack, comprising Benjamin Andre and Junior Tallo, is in the best shape of the season, having scored 10 goals from their last five games.
