Bastia v Valenciennes predictions and betting tips

Bastia are hosting Valenciennes in their second match of the season. The two teams finished last season only separated by one point, Bastia on 12th place and Valenciennes on 11th. This season expectations are similar, with Valenciennes tipped slightly above Bastia on the table, around middle of table or just below middle.

Bastia started this season with a loss away to Nantes, although they dominated possession (66%) and had the most attempts, they were ineffective and ultimately had no shots on target and lost the match 2-0. Their best player was central defender Harek. Valenciennes got on to a much better start, beating Toulouse at home 3-0. Despite having 46% possession they created nineteen attempts and seven shots on target, overall being strong at finishing. Although it can be said that the red card given to Toulouse defender Spajic after 35 mins had a lot to say for the run of play. Best Valenciennes player and man of the match was forward Pujol .

Bastia v Valenciennes betting tips

This fixture last season ended 2-3, after Valenciennes coming from behind and scoring two goals in 78th and 80th minute. Bastia had the most possession and attempts, though Valenciennes were more effective and had more shots on target. Man of the match was central midfielder Kadir who scored two of the goals for Valenciennes. The teams have met five times, three wins for Bastia and two for Valenciennes. The last three encounters have all ended over 2.5 goals.

Bastia will do without attacking midfielder Araujo due to his red card in the season opener. For Valenciennes both Lala and Nery are unavailable and still out with injury.

Bastia are normally quite good at home and Valenciennes have been poor away, but this time around Valenciennes is in better form and so it should be an even match. I am betting the Valenciennes +0.25 at 2.025 with Bet365, plus the under 2.5 goals at 1.80 also with Bet365.
