Concarneau will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Bastia.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a National match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Cholet, was also a home game here at Stade Guy Piriou. The away team is better rested.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Concarneau form and stats
Concarneau have played three National home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
A. Vincent was the last player to score a league goal for Concarneau and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Concarneau haven't scored in 268 minutes.
Concarneau's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Cholet (placed 3rd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Red Star (0-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Concarneau perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Concarneau as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Concarneau has won four of these, drawn seven and lost four.
Concarneau have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. From these home matches, Concarneau have conceded only 2 goals.
Bastia form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Bastia, who have the most scored goals (14) in National, playing as the away team in the National this season. Bastia are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played ten in a row without losing.
It's the second away game in a row for Bastia, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Villefranche (placed 13th) in the National last time out. Before that, Bastia secured a home win against Bourg-en-Bresse with the score 3-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Bastia in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Bastia, zero draws and zero defeats.
