Bastia, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Grenoble Foot 38 in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Bastia last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Grenoble Foot 38, who had 22 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Régis Brouard will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches.

They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.

They came away from that fixture with a 51% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Caen, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Olivier Frapolli will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period.
