After a dramatic match against Niort, CA Bastia managed to get a victory after shootout and progress to the stage of last sixteen teams in Cup competition. Guests had a 2:1 lead, but the hosts never gave up and got the equalizer in the last moments of the game, while the Corsicans proved to be calmer in the penalty shoot out and got the spot in next phase of Cup competition.
It seems that the momentum is completely on their side now, as the Corsicans are coming from two consecutive positive results, for the first time this year. Previously, they have won over Nancy 1:0 on the road, but are still last at the standings, this time with seven points difference between them and safely placed teams. Even though most of the people have overwritten them long time ago, they have now at least in theory, a good chance to get another positive result and approach the safe zone to only four points difference. Atmosphere in the team has slightly improved after two victories, while the team has no injury or suspension worries for this game.

Istres, on the other side, is coming from a 3:1 home victory over Brest last weekend. The hosts were simply superior during the game and even when the visitors from Brest equalized the score to 1:1, Istres was the team that dominated the field, didn’t panicked and played good football, hardly getting into defensive problems.
This was one of the rare matches where Istres didn’t face up with many defensive problems, even though they conceded one goal, as the defensive lineup still remains their biggest problem. Currently, they have the worst defense in the league with thirty six goals conceded. Having that in mind, there is no other solution for them but to remain in the relegation fight till the end of the season as the team currently has one point more than relegated placed sides. Guests have only one player out for this game and that is important defensive midfielder Barrillon (16/2) who is suspended for tonight’s game.
CA Bastia has a unique chance to continue with their positive results and with elevated atmosphere they have, there is no doubt that the side will try to attack more often then in their previous game. Istres has a fragile defense, but also a decent offensive lineup and the goals simply has to be seen from both ends in this game.
