Evian Thonon Gaillar
After scoring against Montpellier striker Kevin Berigaud is suffering from thigh pain and will be out for around a fortnight. Both Cedric Mongongu and Saber Khelifa have been suspended for one game,
then the LFP will look into the incident against Montpellier on the
10th of May and possibly offer further sanctions.
Yannick Sagbo should come into the attack with Berigaud out too and Jerome Leroy could come into the midfield. Guillaume Rippert could deputise in central defence with Mongongu and Angoula out.
Already sidelined through injury, Jonathan Mensah will undergo surgery on his thigh and miss the rest of the season. Also ruled out for the season is Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen, who will miss four weeks with a thigh strain.
Midfielder Olivier Sorlin returns from suspension and could play against Ajaccio. Fabrice Ehret and Bertrand Laquiat are ruled out through injury. Evian have suffered a huge blow as they will be without Sidney Govou for the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury.
Probable lineups : Andersen, Wass, Cambon, Rippert, Lacour, Barbosa, Sorlin, Bi, Kahlenberg, Leroy, Sagbo. (4-4-1-1).
Ajaccio
Samuel Bouhours will miss out after his red card against Rennes. Felipe Saad should deputise. Leyti N'Diaye is still injured and will miss out.
Probable lineups : Ochoa, Diawara, Poulard, Medjani, Saad, Mostefa, Pierazzi, Andre, Cavalli, Sammaritano, Ribeiro. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
Ajaccio came from behind to pick up a vital three points against Sochaux mid-week and now will be hoping for a rare away win to keep their chance of staying in Ligue 1.
Evian themselves will breathe a huge sigh of relief after securing their Ligue 1 safety which is amazing for their first ever season in the top-flight. The spectacular point away at Montpellier was enough to secure safety. With the pressure off will they be even more of a threat going forward.
Historically Ajaccio have had the better of this fixture, although there has only been four meetings between the two sides. Earlier this season the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at the Stade Francois Coty, the same score when the two last met at the Parc des Sports in Annecy two years ago. Same bet seems to be another draw.
Evian Thonon Gaillar 2 - 2 Ajaccio
