The visitors to open the score

We expect Auxerre to score the first goal in this Ligue 2 match against Bastia. The quest for top five has never been more urgent and for fourth-placed Auxerre, staying in top five is a priority ahead of this game. They have the second-best away stats after 8W, 5D and 2L in 15 trips. And while Bastia hasn’t lost at home this season after 4W and 11D, the hosts are struggling to score goals. Bastia netted three goals in the last five home matches of 1W and 4D. On the flip-side, Auxerre scored seven goals in the last five trips, during which they bagged three wins and two draws.

The visitors will win

We expect away victory in this game. The visitors have proved they can do better to remain in top five. Three wins from the last three trips is a proof to that. They have the scoring form compared to Bastia that has failed to impress in the final third. A narrow victory for Auxerre is our tip for this Ligue 2 game.

Under 2.5
