This match features two teams living in the basement of the National, Toulon holding 16th place and Bastia-Borgo lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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.

Bastia-Borgo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Toulon form and stats

Toulon's struggle is real here at Stade Bon Rencontre with only 4 points collected from 6 National games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-2. All in all it has been a very rough period for Toulon who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Chasselay MDA, 160 days ago. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Toulon, their manager F. Pujo and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that Toulon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the National game against Avranches (placed 4th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Concarneau (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Toulon perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Toulon as a small favourite), we find four games. Toulon has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
