Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Bastia v Toulouse
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, September 10th
Start: 19pm BST
Venue: Stade Armand Cesari (Bastia)

Bastia are back home and it's been almost a month since they played in front of their own fans. Last time it was a first day loss to PSG, but it was only 1-0. Since then, it has played two away games, where it won one and lost. International disruption caused another delay. Therefore, Bastia is also waiting for the first goal at home, which should happen this weekend.

Toulouse are undefeated this season and have drawn with Marseille and St Etienne, although they have yet to score a goal on their travels.

Bastia vs Toulouse: head to head stats

Bastia have won four of the last six games between these clubs and, while that's a great record, last season Toulouse beat them 4-0. But in Bastia, the home team has an excellent track record. They also have a good record of halftime wins. Bastia have already shown courage and although the team cannot isolate them away from home, it is expected that they will be a difficult team to beat on their own ground, even PSG had difficulties.

Bastia v Toulouse: prediction

Toulouse faces a tough journey and scary terrain for them. They have been good this season but Bastia should have enough to score all three points. It's still the beginning of the season and the best option is to have some security on our side, so we're going to make our main bet a draw and not a bet for the home team. Bastia striker Enzo Crivelli is in good shape, trained for a few weeks and is now ready to score at home.
