Nice vs Ajaccio Prediction :
Ajaccio, on the other hand, has only one victory in their last six away Ligue 1 games and has failed to score in four of those encounters with Les Algiers. The hosts should prevail comfortably given the disparate fortunes of the two teams recently and Nice’s recent dominance in the match.

Nice vs Ajaccio Team news :
Nice newcomer Terem Moffi made his Les Aiglons debut against Marseille, where he had been expected to play during a long-running January transfer saga. He played 73 minutes before reportedly getting a knock. However, Arsenal loanee Nicolas Pepe (knee) is one of three Les Aiglons absentees.
Les Aiglons are also without Youcef Atal and Marcin Bulka due to hamstring and shoulder injuries, respectively. Digard should think about starting Brahimi after he scored his first Ligue 1 goal off the bench over the weekend.
However, the host coach shouldn’t change a winning formula, especially since Nice has an eight-day break before their next match against Reims. Ajaccio left back Diallo will be suspended for the straight red card he received against Nantes.
Captain Vincent Marchetti has also been given a one-game suspension for accumulating yellow cards. However, Marchetti suffered an injury just before the halftime break against Nantes, and Mickael Alphonse should take Marchetti’s place at left-back. The severity of Marchetti’s injury is unknown.
The remainder of the visitors’ absentees for Friday include Thomas Mangani, Yoann Touzghar, Youssouf Kone, and Mathieu Coutadeur. The 19-year-old Paolo Lebas will likely serve in the engine room in place of the suspended and injured Marchetti.
