Toulouse vs Bastia Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Toulouse have started to pick up form after a terrible run and will be expecting to take 3 points from the visit of Bastia this Saturday night. The away side will arrive still searching for their first win since the return of football following the winter break and desperate for points to get away from the relegation zone.

The home team were on their own nightmare run and lost 4 games on the spin before managing to thump Angers 4-0 on February 5. They followed that up with a creditable 1-1 draw at strugglers Lorient in midweek and will now hope to get back to winning ways against a side which looks set to drop into Ligue 2.

Toulouse are currently sat in 10th position and 10 points from a Europa League spot, which now seems too far from their reach. The form of strike duo Martin Braithwaite and Swedish international Ola Toivonen has held their season together, the attackers grabbing 8 and 6 goals so far this season respectively. Expect either of them to score in this match after being in such good nick of late.

Bastia are by no means cut adrift but they now sit joint bottom of the table with Lorient on 22 points, albeit only 2 from safety. Remarkably, their defence has been relatively sound this season and they have conceded just 28 from their 23 games. Scoring however has been an issue and they have found the net just 20 times. They have also won the joint lowest games of any side in the division, 5.

We expect Toulouse to win this one comfortably and are backing a Both Teams To Score No bet which is valued at 4/6 with bet365.

For our correct score prediction we see Toulouse winning the match 3-0 and that is priced at a hefty 14/1.
