Valenciennes, Recent FormValenciennes will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Quevilly-Rouen, which ran out a 1-1 draw.
Manager Nicolas Rabuel will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stade du Hainaut. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Rabuel will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.
Bastia, Recent FormBastia head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 4-2 home win against Nîmes in their last league encounter.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. With 11 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Bastia recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Valenciennes, losing 1-0 to Bastia.
I Lioni di Furiani will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against VAFC having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings. When Bastia are away to Les Athéniens in the league, they know how to find the net, with 7 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.33 per game.
Bastia has a poor track record in the league when they visit VAFC, losing in their last 2 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the VAFC manager Nicolas Rabuel ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Rabuel a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Bastia manager Régis Brouard has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
