Command Analysis
Grenoble
FranceCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Grenoble was not among the contenders for promotion and was mainly counting on staying in Ligue 2. So far, Oswald Tanchot team has coped with this task and is in 12th place in the table with 18 points. There is a modest gap of three points from the transition zone, so the situation may worsen in the near future. Having lost 1:3 to Red Star in the last round, Grenoble suffered its third defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nestor is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Grenoble have lost their last three matches
- Grenoble have not beaten Bastia in their last six matches, with three defeats and three draws.
Estimated line-up: Allen - Delos, Diarra, Chepchet, Mendy - Mbebma, Bangre, Valls, Benet, Olaitan - Jabbari.
SC Bastia
FranceCurrent form
Bastia were probably expecting to fight for a playoff spot based on the results of the championship, but they have already made many mistakes in the first round. With 22 points, Benoit Thavenaud team is in ninth place in the table after 16 rounds and is five points behind fifth-placed Annecy - such a handicap still leaves a chance for success. In the last round, Bastia beat Guingamp 3:1 at home, thus breaking a long streak of 10 matches without a win in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Guevara is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bastia have not lost in their last eight matches – four wins and four draws
- Bastia have not conceded in their last three away matches
Estimated line-up: Placide - Bonert, Goudy, Acqueson, Meynadier - Ouali, Ducrocq, Vincent, Rodriguez, Thomas - Cisse.

1.85Tip and bets
Bastia will probably be in a determined mood today – there is a chance to get close to the playoff zone in case of success, and the level of the opponent allows them to set maximum goals. Grenoble looked frankly weak in the last matches, and is also inferior to the opponent in terms of player selection, it makes sense in such a situation to take a risk and give preference to the motivated Corsicans.
We believe that the guests have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Asian handicap (0) for Bastia . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on total
Bastia will undoubtedly take risks today and play only to win – the visitors are clearly determined to join the fight for a playoff spot and have the necessary personnel resources for this. Grenoble regularly makes mistakes in defense and is unlikely to be able to play to zero today, but at the same time, they are unlikely to give up points at home without a fight and will respond with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Bastia are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Grenoble are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.95
