On Sunday, May 21, 2023 Ajaccio will compete against Rennes in the Matchday 36 of the Ligue 1 match. Watch here, Ajaccio vs Rennes live streaming, preview and how to watch it.
Many doubt AC Ajaccio’s ability to stay in Ligue 1 after being promoted last season. And it turns out, they really can’t compete in the highest tier of French football. The team that was only able to score 22 goals throughout the season was finally relegated in an embarrassing way, namely losing 0-5 to potential champions Paris Saint-Germain in the previous game.
On the other hand, Rennes managed a 4-0 win over Troyes in their last home game, which moved them up to sixth place with 59 points. They are just one point behind fifth-placed Lille, which is the last place to qualify for the European Conference League.

Match Preview
The team nicknamed the Bears, Ajaccio has no bite at all in front of the opponent’s goal. They have not scored a goal in their last four matches. In fact, they haven’t scored a goal in their last five home games either.
Ajaccio is in eighteenth place with only 23 points from 35 matches. They were only able to score 22 goals and conceded 66 goals.
If they fail to score again in this game against Rennes, then they will have a terrible record as the longest-running team without scoring at home in Ligue 1 history.
Meanwhile, Rennes has shown good performance recently, especially against bottom teams. Rennes managed to beat Angers 4-2 and Troyes 4-0, although they lost 1-2 to Nice in between.
Rennes have also appeared solid at the back by keeping eight clean sheets so far this year, only losing to Reims who have ten clean sheets. This defensive strength means that Rennes still have a chance to qualify for European competition next season, as they are only one point behind Lille who are in fifth place.
Unfortunately, Rennes also had problems playing away from home, as they only got 17 points out of the 51 available. They have also lost three in a row on the road. The last time they did not lose away from home was on March 19 against Paris Saint-Germain.
