Montpellier will look to regain top spot in Ligue 1 when they play host to AC Ajaccio on Saturday.
One-time leaders Montpellier are currently second in France’s top tier, with a record of 14 wins, four draws and four losses leaving them three points behind leaders Paris St Germain.
However, PSG are not in action until Sunday so a win here would send Montpellier top on goal difference, even if it is for only 24 hours. Their red-hot form is pointing to a win for the hosts, who will be looking to make it six straight victories in all competitions, and the bookmakers have unsurprisingly made them 3/10 favourites to beat one of Ligue 1’s struggling sides this weekend.
AC Ajaccio are 15th in the table with a record of five wins, seven draws and 10 losses leaving them just three points clear of the relegation zone.
They will be desperate to add more breathing room in the coming weeks and they have aided their fight against the drop by embarking on a six-game unbeaten run that has seen them rack up four wins. AC Ajaccio are 9/1 to make it seven without loss by winning, while the draw is priced 4/1.
