Fourth tier side Ajaccio have a big game on their hands as they prepare to host top flight side Lille in the French Cup this Sunday at the Stade de Ange Casanoya. Ajaccio will start this game as underdogs looking at the quality of their opponent. They play in the National 2 League, but all year in 2021, they’ve played just one league game. They lost that, falling 2-1 to Sedan. With most of their matches this year postponed, Ajaccio may find themselves badly short of match fitness. The hosts have managed just two outright wins in the last five French Cup matches.

Meanwhile, Lille are enjoying great form and sit atop the Ligue 1 standings. They are coming from a 2-0 win over Olympique Marseille and have scored in each of their last five matches. They’ve kept one clean sheet in their last five matches but there’s a massive gap in quality for the two sides, so conceding should be the least of their expectations. In the last five away matches, Lille have one loss and four wins. They have scored two or more goals in three of their last five away matches and in the last four French Cup matches, they’ve won three.
