Wednesday’s Ligue 1 matchup pits Ajaccio against Reims at the Stade Francois Coty.
Ajaccio has improved in recent games after a poor start to their campaign following their promotion last season. On New Year’s Day, they fell to Toulouse, their first defeat in four games after winning two and drawing one to get out of the relegation zone.
In contrast, Reims has not lost a game since September 18th, a streak of nine games. Even though they have only won three of those matches, their streak has elevated them to a respectable 10th place in the standings. Most recently, they beat high-flying Rennes 3-1 and played Lille to a 1-1 draw.

Ajaccio vs Reims Prediction :
Reims probably have good reasons to be confident going into this game, even though they are the away team.
Ajaccio is not a terrible team, but their lack of skill in front of the goal could hurt them here, especially if Reims can score early. Their unbeaten streak is one of the best in Ligue 1 right now.
We anticipate an overall away victory in this game.
