- Nancy have the fewest scored goals (14) in Ligue 2
- Bastia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bastia have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Nancy form and stats
With 1 Ligue 2 win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Nancy are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Nancy with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Niort game, 70 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Rennes (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Coupe de France last time out and are looking for a win here. Nancy's goalie Valette played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Rennes (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) with a stunning six saves. Biron was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Rennes (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? The goalie Valette was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.94 out of ten. Valette stopped the opponent with six saves.
Preceding that match was the home Ligue 2 game against Dijon that was lost 0-3.This is expected to be a close game, with Nancy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nancy as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Nancy has won four of these, drawn four and lost six.
Nancy have scored 5 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Nancy defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
