Nantes vs Bastia Betting Tips

Nantes have lost two straight games, while Bastia are looking for their first win since the calendar flipped to November. They’re running out of time on that front. This is a match-up between two should-be mid-table teams, but in a tight table, things can change very fast.

Bastia have certainly learned that in recent weeks. They have 14 points from 14 games and are well clear of the bottom two Toulouse and Troyes, but they’re still currently occupying the third relegation spot. Their defence is a little leaky and they’ve conceded 21 goals in 14 matches.

Nantes return to play at home after three straight games away. That spell of road matches started well with a 2-1 victory over Nice, but they lost back-to-back games to Montpellier and Monaco.

They will hope that playing Bastia gets their attacking rhythm back. They have just 12 tallies through the first 14 games.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Home advantage

Nantes have struggled away from home over the last couple of games, but we back them to re-discover some of their from back in front of their own crowd.

2. Bastia’s defence

It’s a big concern. They concede too many goals and they seem capable of conceding in bunches. They’ve lost eight of their 14 games and it’s because of that fragility.

3. Nantes due a win

Nantes have been back and forth for most of the season and we think Saturday night will be one of those games where they go “forth”.
