Bastia, Recent FormBastia enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Rodez last time out in the league.
It seems pretty certain that Régis Brouard will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. When playing at home this season, Bastia has notched up a tally of 7 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Stade Armand-Cesari, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Nîmes, Recent FormWith Metz sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Nîmes won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out.
It's fair to say that manager Frédéric Bompard will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 13 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Moussa Koné will be looking to cause Bastia some problems having scored 2 goals in Nîmes' last 6 away games in the league.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Les Crocodiles have been unable to break through Bastia's defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Bastia have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Nîmes.
Nîmes remains without a victory against Bastia in their previous 3 league encounters.
With no real injury worries, Bastia manager Régis Brouard will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Nîmes manager Frédéric Bompard ahead of this clash, with Benoît Poulain (Unknown) missing out, which gives Bompard a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
