Ligue 2 betting preview: Ajaccio- Chateauroux Ajaccio- Chateauroux We discussed both Chateauroux ahead of their Coupe de la Ligue meeting with Clermont at the end of last month, when I wrote ..... These two featured in the mini Ligue 2 pre season preview .... Last year we started with a look back at how the previous season ended and what we traditionally expect over the opening round, when I wrote ..... Of the 12 teams in action today who played in Ligue 2 last season, Nimes 33 points, Le Havre 32, Dijon 31 and Caen 30 collected the most points over the second half of the campaign, Chateauroux with 21 and Istres with a woeful 15, the fewest. Looking at the last ten matches, that pair again came bottom of the pile with an average of extactly one point each per start, Le Havre were far and away the best with 1.9 points per game. Don't expect a goal fest, last season was high scoring by Ligue 2 standards, but opening day is traditionally tight, the 50 matches over the last five seasons have averaged exactly 2.0 goals, with 20 of those producing one or fewer goals. Of the teams discussed in a positive fashion, Caen were promoted and Dijon finished 6th , both Chateauroux and Istres who were carrying over very poor form from the previous season were relegated, (Chat later reinstated) so let's start with a quick look at similar stats this time round. Over the second half of the campaign, Clermont with 16 points and Auxerre with 18 performed the worse of the teams which remained in Ligue 2, infact, two of the relegaed teams collected more points over the final 19 games than that duo. Brest with 37 points, were far and away the best team through this period, followed by Niort (32) and Nancy (30). I do not feel the last ten starts are quite as releveant, teams do up their game at the last minute when in trouble and others with nothing to play for, are going through the motions, but Brest were again strongest with 20 points, Nancy second with 18 and Angers bottom of the pile with 9 points. They are interesting, second at Christmas, Angers were in a downward spiral from then on and it is they, Auxerre and Clermont who look most vulnerable of the established Ligue 2 teams, especially if they start their season poorly . So, coming into this season there was good reason to feel that these two were going to be amongst the weakest teams and after four matches, there has been little to swerve us away from that thinking, they have one win between them and that only because the pair met here 11 days ago with the hosts winning by the odd goal in five. Two struggling teams often results in goals and even at this early stage of the campaign, it is hard to view this pair as anything else, the home side have played poorly for two years and should be playing third tier football,the visitors for the whole of 2014. Clermont followed up conceding three here , by shipping four at home to Gazelec on Friday, they did score five themselves across the two games, but these two have already conceded 17 between them and it is hard to see either keeping a cleansheet against any L2 + opposition. Chateauroux, who earned a late reprieve from relegation last season, followed that 3-1 defeat with a draw with Orleans, but we already know their strength is at home, on the road, they have won just once in 45 Ligue 2 starts, scoring an average of 0.73 goals per game and conceding 1.71 over that massive sample of matches and something very strange happens to them when they board that team bus. Ajaccio appeared to have stopped the rot following relegation and a sluggish start to this campaign, they have kept three consecutive cleansheets in the league, collecting seven points, which included a confidence boosting derby win over GFCO and also managed to sandwich inbetween an eyecatching 4-1 win at league leaders Troyes in the cup, regardless of the respective teams approach in that game, it will have done wonders for the mood at the club and they can start to make teams fearful of coming to play here on the island, like they were in their Ligue 2 promotion season (13-5-1 and only six goals conceded ). Up front, they have two experienced strikers at this level in Nicolas Fauvergue (pictured) and Dennis Oliech , alongside two very promising youngsters in Issa Baradji ( 3 goals in 150 minutes of L1 action as an 18 yo in a struggling team) and Mouaad Madri and the win at Troyes was an indication of the offensive potential they pocess. Today they will be without suspended midfielder Claude Gonçalves which is a loss, but one they can overcome against such poor travelling opponents and one very short handed today. Chat arrive without suspended central defender Fabien Boyer and midfield starlet Hamza Sakhi, who at only just 18 yo is getting a lot of attention and also missing hugely experienced fellow midfielder Sébastian Roudet and holding player Maxime Darrieux to injury, which leaves then VERY short across the middle of the park and this is an excellent opportunity for the hosts to close in on the top three 1.75 units Ajaccio -0.75 ball 2.19 asian line/Sportmarket. Ajaccio : Scribe, Sissoko, Marester, Quintillà, Kanté, Zubar, Babiloni, Coulibaly, Cavalli, Madri, Pedretti, Lesoimier, Fauvergue, Baradji, Oliech, Abergel. Châteauroux? : Bonnefoi, Souchaud - Bonnart, Houtoundji, Nestor (cap.), Obiang, Plessis, Zola, Chamed, Mauricio, Kamara, Thil, Bain, Dudouit, Makengo, Rivas.

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th Angers-Gaz.Ajaccio 1@1,90 stake 4 WH I will give trust to home team for this match, given their very good squad they possess. Guest will miss their captain experienced and best player in J. francois (4/0), plus out will Ducourtioux (3/0) on defense and Pujol upfront (5/1). There is a doubt over another good player , Fabre, but I think he will not play (if i have understand well, he has not been included in today squad). Defense of Ajaccio was very unstable before the break. Probably they have work hard on this aspect, so they can be improved, but they will have 2 3 key missing i see. Angers will make everything to not lose points at home, if they want to climb to L1 this season. They are practically at full force so being more experienced and against a promoted team, has led me to this choice. Allez Angers SCO!!!

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th Another interessant is Arles HW or something in Asian, against Toyurs that has jost sold their best forward Delort to Wigan. But I am still thinking of it and not sure to take

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th I've taken Arles -0.25 tonight but nothing else takes my fancy. Sorry I wont be providing previews for Ligue 2 again until I actually like the league again. For now, I've fallen out of love with it

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th Nice wins !!! Angers 2 0. It is a very balanced ligue as meatman rightly saying like championship in england

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th Results a bit more predictable tonight, gives some hope. I think the best method is to be extremely selective with bets in Ligue 2 this year. 8/8 unders hit tonight and it's an extremely tight ligue at the moment. For once, it was a better night for favourites, but they still only covered in 4/8 matches. This is a great year for dogs in L2. I was happy to win with Arles but one swallow doesn't make a summer.

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th Nancy – Sochaux This is a really awkward match to assess. Nancy have had a few issues recently and aren’t as strong as they were a month ago. A poor transfer window has seen them lose their best attacker and best defender, without really adequately replacing either. Key CB and captain Francois Bellugou moved to Lorient on deadline day and they will definitely miss his presence at the back. LB Vincent Muratori is injured too, so suddenly Nancy might not be that solid in defence. Their biggest issue this season has been scoring goals though. They lack firepower and penetration, scoring just 3 times in 5 games so far. They have a chance today because Sochaux seem to be struggling at Ligue 2 level, albeit are unbeaten away from home. It seems that Les Lionceaux prefer being on their travels, perhaps a derby match like this might free up their tension. Bottom line is that neither team can be trusted and I have no idea which way this’ll go. I’m going to predict a surprise Sochaux win, but I’m not sure. Prediction: Nancy 0-1 Sochaux NO BET

Re: Ligue 2 > September 12th - 15th No bet tonight. Honestly would't be surprised to see Auxerre get something. Troyes price way too short as well.
