I really like the look of Bastia at 2.20 (Bet365, Stanley) in this one. Does anyone have any team news, or general comments on the game?

EDIT: Hi Adam. As you are just asking for info I made your post as weekend in France

Re: Your edit

Cool. I suspected that someone might do that. Makes my original post look more substantial...

What makes u belive in Bastia?

Well...I'm a little tentative about it, hence the request for more info. But...

- Bastia's home record is pretty good. Bordeaux's away record is poor.

- Bastia have won three and drawn two of their last five at home. Bordeaux have lost three and drawn two of their last five aways.

- Bastia still need a few more points to be certain of avoiding relegation. Bordeaux have little to play for, although there may be the possibility of an Intertoto Cup place. [Can anyone confirm this?]

- Bastia seem to be faring slightly better in terms of injuries/suspensions, although this is marginal, and I'm not too sure how important the particular players are to the two teams. Preview

- The article on sportinglife.com seems to indicate that Bordeaux might be hurting a little, and this could help them with their motivation. Bastia might be suffering from some off-field turmoil, but my French wasn't good enough to understand the article fully. Bastia news1 Bastia news2

- Of the last nine games between the two in Bastia, the home side have won six and drawn two. Previous matches

- They drew 1-1 earlier in the season in Bordeaux.

So that's all the info I'm looking at. Several bookies are offering Bastia at 2.20, and you can do slightly better on the exchanges. On the basis of all the above, I think that's generous.

Lyon – Rennes
OVER 2.5 @ 1.83 Fonbet

5 of the last 6 games between this two teams ended with a OVER 2.5. The first leg could Rennes win 3-1 and in the last season Lyon won the game at home with 4-1. For this nice odd I will try here the Over.

Any opinions?

Would have to agree with over 2.5

Rennes are finding the net more frequently and have added the lively Kim Kallstrom to their attack - Lyon have one hell of an attack but still look disjointed at the back.

Was going to include lyon in home bankers acc but decided against as i think both sides can score in this fixture

over 2.5 likely

galea

There's a strange but warm feeling of satisfaction when a team that you decide against backing at the last minute goes 2-0 down early in the second half. :p
