Bastia-Borgo form and stats

There's been little loot from Bastia-Borgo's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 10 away games in the National. Bastia-Borgo only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Bastia-Borgo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sète game.

The regulars enjoyed Bastia-Borgo's previous match versus Sedan (placed 10th), a 3-1 win played at home.

A 0-0 draw at Bourg-en-Bresse's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bastia-Borgo playing away, we found seven games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and five home wins.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Bastia-Borgo manager Rossi has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
