Bastia Nice betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 2^nd position of the league, with 45 points won, after 13 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Bordeaux, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Metz, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 13 conceded. Their last away match was for the Coupe de France and ended in a loss by (2‑1) against Lorient. In the last 9 away league matches Nice has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 18 points out of 27 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches) and after the 90' 0‑1 (4 out of 9 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 16 of the last 20 matches for the Ligue 1, they have reached half‑time in front in 10 of those 16 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 13 of them. In the last 16 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Nice heads into this match after a 0-0 draw against Metz, their 2nd consecutive match without a win. They lost the lead with this previous result. In this match, coach Lucien Favre should use a 3-4-3 formation, prioritising ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the wings, as Ricardo Pereira is a very fast player and great at getting the ball forward. Their great highlight is Plea, with 10 goals so far. They should have Cardinale, Baysse, Walter, Dalber, Donis and Belhanda as questionable and Michael Seri is with his national team.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Patrick Burner, Dalbert, Malang Sarr, Dante, Arnaud Souquet, Vincent Koziello, Rémi Walter, Wylan Cyprien, Mario Balotelli, Alassane Pléa.
Coach: D. Digard.
