Bastia vs Bordeaux

Completely fair was defeat of Bastia in previous round as they visited Valenciennes and lost with a score of 3:2. The hosts preceded by 3:0 result at 54th minute, playing impressive football till then, while Bastia continued with much poorer performances on the road.

It was an unacceptable performance in first hour for a team with such roster, while they improved a bit in last thirty minute to reduce the deficit with two goals scored. The team is in obvious downtrend as they have five matches without victory in the league, but with quality roster they have, especially in midfield and offensive part of the team, the side should bounce back to winning matches very soon. Midfielder Modesto (16/1) and experienced goalkeeper Landreau (20/0) have suffered different injuries and are doubtful for tonight’s game, while newly signed striker Cisse and Yatabare could provide tonight extra boost to the team that wants the victory badly now.

Bordeuax, on the other hand, is coming from a 1:3 defeat at home in League Cup competition against PSG during the midweek. The game was equal for most of the time and generally the teams were even till 85th minute, when the individual class came out at the top and the Parisians managed to score two more goals in last five minutes.

Even though the side closed 2013 in the best possible way, they started it badly as the team suffered 0:1 loss at home against Toulouse in the previous league game. After this defeat and exclusion in the league cup competition, the atmosphere has surely gone to a bit unsettling, while the team will try to recover in this game. The side remains with major offensive absences as they miss Brazilian striker Jussie (15/5) and top scorer Diabate (15/7), while right defender Chalme (3/0) is already long term absentee. Back Poundje (9/0) is suspended for this game.

Bastia have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven home matches in Ligue 1.

Bastia are undefeated in eleven of their last twelve home matches in Ligue 1

Bastia is playing much better at home and it seems that the time came for them to bounce back to the winning ways. Bordeaux looks to be in downtrend too and under these circumstances it’s hard to see them getting away with all three points. All in all, draw can’t be excluded, but the hosts are much closer to get the victory.
