# Ajaccio Stunned by Clermont as Both Teams Drop to Ligue 1 Round 38

Ajaccio’s campaign took a dramatic turn this weekend as they fell to a 0-2 defeat against Clermont, a result that has left the Corsican outfit at risk of relegation. Alongside Ajaccio, Angers also suffered a disappointing loss, leaving them on the edge of the drop zone.

The match, held at Stade François Bluffi, saw Clermont dominate from the first whistle. The visitors scored early through a well-taken goal, and Ajaccio struggled to respond. Clermont’s second goal came midway through the second half, further denting Ajaccio’s hopes of a comeback. Despite a late push, Ajaccio couldn’t find an equalizer, leaving manager Olivier Dall’Olio to ponder a frustrating defeat.

This loss has left Ajaccio in 18th place, just outside the safety zone. With two games remaining, including a crucial encounter against Angers, Ajaccio’s survival hopes hang by a thread. Dall’Olio has called on his players to “show the character we’ve had all season” in their final matches.

Meanwhile, Angers’ relegation fears were also heightened after their own loss. Sitting in 17th place, Angers are now level on points with Ajaccio but face a tough match against Montpellier in their next game. Manager Stephane Moulin has emphasized the importance of securing a positive result against Montpellier, but the pressure is mounting for both teams.

The final round of the season, known as “La Coupe de la 38ème Journée,” is a chance for both Ajaccio and Angers to turn their seasons around. However, neither side can afford any more slip-ups if they are to avoid dropping into Ligue 2.

As the season draws to a close, the tension is palpable, and fans of both Ajaccio and Angers will be hoping for a final twist in the tale. Whether it’s a dramatic escape or a sad farewell to Ligue 1, the upcoming games promise to be nothing short of thrilling.
