Rodez vs Bastia Best Picks and Predictions

The tale of two seasons is the storyline in this Rodez vs Bastia match when the home team looks like a prime candidate for relegation while visiting side is hoping for a chance to make a Ligue 1 comeback.

Bastia to Win

Rodez has won four games this season, and one of those victories was against Bastia in their first matchup. A lot has changed since that fateful day in late August of last year, Bastia is one of many teams vying for promotion to Ligue 1, while Rodez will be lucky if they avoid relegation to the Third Tier football league. Rodez hasn’t won a league match since the last days of December, it is a seven-game streak, however, they did manage to advance into the quarterfinals of the French Cup during that period beating teams like Auxerre in the process. Bastia had a recent short two-win run followed by a couple of losses in a row. In their last three league matches in recent times, Rodez won twice while one game ended in a draw. This time, the odds are stacked against Rodez.

Over 1.5 Goals

This Rodez vs Bastia prediction looks at the h2h matchup, the last five times they played, only once the game went over the 1.5 line. The last three league matches in the past couple of years had three goals overall, with one ending in a goalless draw. For the season, Rodez has 16 over 1.5 goals matches including three in the past five games, while Bastia had 14 of those games. They also had three out of the past five encounters with more than 1 goal scored.

Both Teams to Score – No

Once again, the prevalent feeling of this matchup is about the low-scoring abilities of both teams. Rodez is among the three teams with the worst efficiency rating in the league, they only scored 20 goals for the season in 24 matches played. In their last five league games they had two without BTTS. Regarding Bastia, even though they are a top-eight team in the league, their attack is only slightly better than their opponent’s with 23 goals. The visiting team had three games out of the last five without both team scoring a goal.

Rodez vs Bastia Lineups, Team News, and Preview

Rodez

Rodez hasn’t had much success over the years, and going through to the French Cup quarterfinals got their fans excited. However, those feelings are going to be short-term if the teams don’t get some wins in the league to ensure they are playing in Ligue 2 next season. Loris Mouyokolo and Amiran Sanaia are injured for the home side.

Bastia

It is a bit strange to see a team that doesn’t have much efficiency but still holds a realistic chance of progressing to Ligue 1. Bastia has a 23-26 goal difference and keeping their place in the rankings within seven points of second-placed Bordeaux. Goalkeeper Johny Placide is the only player missing a trip to Rodez.
