Caen vs Bastia
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, August 27th
Start: 19pm BST
Location: Stade Michel d'Ornano

This will be Caen's second home game of the season. The first was a five-goal thriller as they defeated Lorient. Unsurprisingly, they lost the next game to Lyon, but no one at the club will care about losing to a potential championship challenger. Caen will host Bastia and thoughts will turn to a game the club can win.

The same can be said for Bastia, who lost on their opener to champions PSG but easily beat Lorient 3-0 away from home. Bastia have a weak defense this season where even against PSG they have conceded only one goal and hope to do it again and frustrate the home team a lot.

Caen v Bastia: head to head

In the last two games here Bastia came away with a point and I would be happy with that before the game.

Although Caen haven't won this match in their last five games, six years ago there have been plenty of draws between them.

We have only seen 5 goals in the last four matches and we should expect a low-scoring game with a slow and cautious start based on previous games.

Caen v Bastia: Prediction

It's hard to see a winner here and it's best to bet on low goals and a first half that will unfold very slowly. The second half could improve, but these two teams, at this stage of the season and tied, could be happy with the draw. To be on the safe side, take this offer away within the first 45 minutes and proceed with caution.
