Bastia-Borgo vs St Etienne Prediction & Betting tips
Third-class team Bastia-Borgo will take on Sunday in Corsica against AS Saint-Étienne. Can you surprise the Corsican team?
Bastia-Borgo:
Bastia-Borgo, which originated in 2017 from a merger of CA Bastia and Borgo FC, was promoted to the third level at the end of last season by a second place in group C of the Championnat National 2. Bastia-Borgo plays in the Championnat National no significant role this season. From the first seventeen races, the Corsican team managed to collect only sixteen points, so that the lead over the relegation zone is only two points. The last win against a team from the Championnat National or higher already dates back to the end of September, so the form is also not in favor of the Corsicans.
AS Saint-Etienne:
It is hoped for Claude Puel that his players have had the necessary boat from the winter break, because before that the results were not to write home about. Five of the last seven games were lost and none of them managed to keep the Verts down. After the first half of the season, AS Saint-Étienne can be found with 25 points in a disappointing fourteenth place, while until two months ago the team still fully participated in the battle for a European ticket. Because also the European did not go so well this season, the record champion of France can only win silverware this season in the Coupe de France or the Coupe de la Ligue.
In December, Puel’s team was disappointing, especially in the defensive field. Fourteen goals were won in seven games, converted by an average of two goals against each match, compared to nine goals scored. The scoring potential is certainly present and that is also evident from the results, but with an average of two goal goals per game, winning becomes very difficult. Puel has sent another line of defense into the field every time, but so far without the desired result, so it is a big mystery before this cup match who will be the last line of les Verts this time.
