Bastia vs Boulogne Prediction & Betting Tips (13 March)

The Mass is not yet quite said on the Bastia side but this team is moving a little more each week towards relegation to Nationale 1 which now seems almost inevitable. Only 8 days before the end of this exercise, the residents of Furiani are still last in the ranking and they especially deplore a delay of 8 points on the first non-relegation. Unfortunately for him, Sporting has been moving slowly for several weeks with draws against Nancy 0-0, Reims 0-0, Troyes 0-0 and Dunkirk 1-1 and a defeat conceded at home against Annecy 0-2. Finally, last week, the Corsicans were once again forced to share the points with Pau 2-2.

Boulogne, for its part, is on the contrary in a very good position to ensure its maintenance from now on. Those who had been promoted just a few days before the start of this exercise were able to get up to the level of Ligue 2 and they now occupy 12th place in the ranking with a fairly comfortable lead of 7 points over the Amiens play-off at the start of this 27th day. Defeated at home by Clermont 0-2, the USBCO players were then looking for a good point in Grenoble 0-0 before giving themselves a big breath of fresh air last week by dominating Amiens 4-2.

Once again, Bastia will have to deal with the absence of its captain and central defender Guidi, replacements Bathily and Djédjé and the disappointing striker Parravicini who are still stuck in the club's care center with senior defenders Meynadier and Roncaglia. Good news, however, for coach Reginald Ray who is recovering the team's top scorer, Sebas (4 goals), who was suspended last weekend.

The precious Boutrah (2 goals and 2 assists) and midfielder Tomi (2 goals) are also operational.
