Bastia, Recent FormBastia will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Quevilly-Rouen Métropole. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 5 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Lilian Laslandes will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 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 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets.
They have had a good run of form at Stade Armand-Cesari recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Migouel Alfarela will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Bastia.
Rodez, Recent FormRodez manager Didier Santini will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Dunkerque. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Dunkerque, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 24 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Andréas Hountondji will be looking to cause Bastia some problems having scored 5 goals in Rodez's last 6 away games in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stade Armand-Cesari, Bastia have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Rodez has a good track record when they travel to Bastia, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Bastia manager Lilian Laslandes will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rodez manager Didier Santini has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
