GREG was one goal short of a winning double yesterday with Feyenoord probably letting him down by not contributing at Vitesse.
He says: “After a great first three weeks it’s been a disappointing end. My 2-1 double didn't land and it's always frustrating when it’s 2-0 with 30 minutes left. Hoping to get back to winning ways on my favourite night of the week – and as usual France Ligue 2 is where I’m heading.”
Ajaccio v Laval (7pm)
The hosts still have hopes of making the promotion places and should given they sit just 4 points off third. It’s been a good start after the winter break picking up maximum points in both games but it’s their turnaround in fortunes at home that has caught my eye.
They failed to win any of their opening 5 home games (4 draws and a defeat) but most of those draws should have been wins. They controlled large parts of the game but couldn’t find the winning goal! Fast forward to their last 5 at home and they have won 4 scoring 2 or more in those games.
Laval are struggling at the bottom end of the table just above the relegation places – like a lot of French sides they don’t travel well and certainly don’t enjoy playing Ajaccio having lost the last 5 encounters.
I’m trying to stay with goals and I said to Mr F if he sees me post another team to win again then to ban me, haha! I really fancy Ajaccio and should net at least once.
Back GFCO Ajaccio to WIN
(5-6, various )
GFCO Ajaccio over 1.5 team goals
(13-10, Coral)
It’s always there or thereabouts and I'lll be on all 8 matches in Ligue 2 over 1.5 match goals at 14-1.
Is ajaccio to win the nap Greg ?
I’m going to split my stake between the 2. Should both land!
Ajaccio absolutely killing me
