BASTIA-TROYES PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Bastia is currently 16^th of the league, with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Troyes is last with only 2 points in 7 games. They were one of the favorite to go back to the Ligue 2, now they is nearly no doubt anymore. When playing home, Bastia won once in 3 games, the opening one, and then lost heavily against PSG and St-Etienne, 4-0 and 3-0. Away, Troyes didn’t manage to take one single point in 3 games as well.

BASTIA-TROYES PREDICTIONS: TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Both teams are having a really bad start in their season. They both just managed to make it from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 this season, but the quality of their squad is not the same. Bastia has some players who are very experienced in the first league, such as Jerome Rothen, former International and PSG-player, or their striker Toifilou Maoulida. You need this kind of player when you are aiming at keeping your spot in the top league. They managed to bring a good point from their trip in Nice, and we want to confirm this in front of their fans.

Troyes’ squad is certainly the weakest of the championship, so there is no surprise with their overall results. They already lost in Brest and Sochaux who are not better than Bastia.

BASTIA-TROYES PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETS PREVIEW

The home side can be backed at 1.75 with Ladbrokes. The draw is set at 3.71 with Pinnacle and the surprising Troyes win is at 5.56 on the same bookmaker. Bastia’s Furiani stadium is one of the toughest in terms of atmosphere, so I really don’t think a team like Troyes could bring even one point from that trip.

BASTIA-TROYES PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Bastia is given half a goal handicap, which is the same as he above result, for a slightly better odd. You can back Bastia -0.5 at 1.78 with 188bet, and Troyes +0.5 at 2.16 on the same book. I would obviously stay on the same side, Bastia -0.5.

BASTIA-TROYES PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is slightly favorite here, with an odd of 1.9 with Pinnacle. The over is set at 2.00 with Unibet. Both teams haven’t been scoring much, but conceded a lot of goals. I would put a small stake on the Over, hoping for a quick first goal in that game.
