Competition: France National

Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade Armand-Césari (16078 seats)

33 rounds of fixtures have been played and both Bastia and Red Star are up there with the best. Let's go!

Insights:
  • Bastia have the most scored goals (54) in National
  • Red Star have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Red Star have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Bastia are already the National winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Star is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
