Few goals to be scored
Our tipsters are backing a low scoreline between Niort and Bastia. We have settled on this market because both teams are in their top form defensively. The hosts have three clean sheets from the last four matches, a record that will be easy to keep going on home soil. And while Bastia has only one clean sheet from as many games, the visitors have kept their defence tight, leaking at most one goal in six of their last seven matches.
No goal-goal
Another plausible outcome in this game is goals on one end or a barren draw. Both Niort and Bastia have done commendably well in recent games. The strong defensive record in recent matches will be important in this game. They have met thrice and two games didn’t have goals on both sides.
Draw result
We are backing the teams to settle for the spoils on matchday. It will be a tough duel on Tuesday and given the strong resurgence and defence on both sides, there is a good chance this game will end square.

Bastia hopes to get all the points from Niort this season. The visitors won the reverse fixture 2-0. Find out more in the team previews below.
Niort
Niort is in 9th place and hope to extend unbeaten run to six games. The hosts won two and drew four of their last six matches. A strong defence has been Niort’s main strength and with home advantage, we expect the hosts to overturn the 2-0 defeat in the reverse game or at least get a point in this game.
Bastia
Bastia is 14th on Ligue 2 after 33 matches. The visitors may have defeated Niort in the reverse game but now look threatened by relegation. With only five points from the drop zone, Bastia risks fighing against relegation. The visitors suffered a 2-1 defeat last time out after going unbeaten in six games.
