Bastia vs Pau FC Prediction & Betting Tips (15 August)

The SC Bastia will play its 5th consecutive season in Ligue 2 this year with ever more or less similar ambitions, namely a presence among the first 5. By finishing in 8th place last year 48 points, it did not go far from the dams for the Corsicans, that said the high level requirement will not give them any gifts in a Ligue 2 where the suitors for the climb are too numerous ASSE, Montpellier, Reims etc. What about the Corsican prep? Overall it was excellent, after 3 successes in front of the Bastia Borgo 1-0, Furiani Agliani 3-2 and Aubagne 3-1, they fell against the MHSC 0-1 before concluding it by a success in front of Amiens 4-2 on August 02. Attached among the relegable potentials each year, the Pau FC does not let go of this League 2, quite the contrary. The Palois club will play its 6th rank in the anteroom of French football.

This year, given the workforce made available to coach Nicolas Usai once again, Pau will have a lot of trouble looking at the top but still surprises. 13th last year 42 points, the formation of the southwest of France was undefeated during its prep. After a success in front of Aubagne 4-1, national and a draw against Toulouse 0-0, Ligue 1, Pau lost to a Liga club, the Sociedad 2-0. Then, Pau signed a victory against Angoulême 1-0, National 2 and a good draw against Elche 0-0, Liga for a victory against Rodez as a last 2-4 test. 

SC Bastia before evoking the presents and absent them on the Pau side, let us talk about transfers.
