Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Saint Etienne vs Bastia
France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, September 18, 2016
Start: 16pm BST
Location: Stade Geoffroy-Guichard (St Etienne).

St Etienne have only lost one game this season, but due to a succession of draws they are in 12th place. The club only scored one goal in their last two matches, but again it was an excellent 1-1 PSG result. At home they are undefeated, but in the last game at home they failed to score against Toulouse and the game ended 0-0. For a team in the bottom half, it's easy to have more goals so far, with 6.

Bastia has been inconsistent with a defeat, a victory, a defeat and a victory. In fact, they are a lot of fun to watch and just keep playing, often surprising the opponent. Bastia beat Toulouse 2-1 at home in their last game, but the problem is that it's too early to tell how it will play out on the road. They lost 2-0 to Caen but beat Lorient, but all the clubs are beating the West team now.
