Bastia manager Benoît Tavenot will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Red Star.  

It seems pretty certain that he will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.  

There will be mixed feelings from I Lioni di Furiani, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've drawn their last 4.

Guingamp enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 away win over Martigues last time out in the league.  

Manager Sylvain Ripoll will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.  

On an individual basis, Jacques-Julien Siwe will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Guingamp's last 6 league games.
