Midweek action will take place in Ligue 1, with Angers and Ajaccio battling for three points in a matchday 21 relegation six-pointer on Wednesday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 4-0 away thrashing at the hands of Brest over the weekend. Jeremy Le Douaron, Steve Mounie, Franck Honorat and Pierre Lees-Melou all found the back of the net.
Ajaccio fell to a 2-0 defeat against Lyon on home turf. Johann Lepenant and Alexandre Lacazette scored in either half to guide Le Gones to victory.
The loss left them in 18th spot with 15 points garnered from 20 matches. Angers remain rooted to the bottom of the standings on eight points, 10 points away from safety.

Angers vs Ajaccio Prediction
There has been little source of positivity for Angers this term, with unwanted records being set almost every time they take to the field. Abdelaziz Bouhazama's side are running out of time to preserve their top-flight status and Wednesday's game offers them an opportunity to take points from a direct relegation rival.
Ajaccio, for their part, have not fared much better, having lost each of their last four matches in all competitions.
However, confidence will be in short supply in the Angers camp and we are backing the visitors to capitalize on this with a narrow win.
