The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bastia-Borgo so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-8 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Bastia-Borgo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sete game.

Bassouamina (2), Raspentino and Giacomini scored in Bastia-Borgo's previous match, the home game against Chambly that ended 4-0.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Concarneau.

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.
