SC Bastia
Guingamp
In the 16th round of Ligue 2, their meeting will be held Bastia - Gengam, I offer my exclusive prediction for this event. Will the game be boring this time?
Bastia
Not the brightest season spends Bastia, the team goes tenth in the championship, showing boring soccer, few concede and few score. The club is the absolute leader in the number of draws, as many as 10 in 15 games.
In the last round Bastia drew against Red Star on the road, although it played better than the opponent. The team has not won in the championship for ten matches in a row, 8 draws and two defeats. The club continues its fight in the French Cup, where it will play in the 1/32 finals against Saint-Joseph.
Gengam
This season Gengam plays with mixed success, but at the same time has a chance of promotion, the team is sixth in the championship, the gap from the top-5 is only one point.
In the last round managed to beat away outsider Martig - 1:0, the only goal was scored in the 88th minute. The mentioned victory was the fourth in five meetings, so the team is clearly on the move. Gengam matches are often productive, and in 15 rounds the club has only once played in a draw.
Possible line-ups
- Bastia: Placide, Bonert, Guidi, Acqueson, Menadier, Onana, Ducroc, Butra, Maggiotti, Tramoni, Cisse.
- Gengam: Bezillio, Vallier, Nair, Rioux, Sissoko, Picard, Sidibé, Louizerre, Grieb, Sivet, Emia.
Facts about the match
- Bastia have not lost at home yet, 5 draws and two wins.
- Gengam has 3 wins and 4 defeats on the road.
- This is how the quotes for this meeting look like: P1 - 2.48, X - 3.05, P2 - 3.10.
H2H
Last season, Bastia played 0-0 at home against this opponent, but managed to win 1-0 away.
Prediction
Between themselves will play different in style teams, so I expect an unpredictable match, which can end with any outcome. I don't believe in result-oriented soccer, so I bet on the total of less than 2.5 goals.
