Bastia take on the visitors Clermont at "Stade Armand Cesari" in the opening game of the French Ligue 2 of 2017/2018 season. The match will be played on Friday, July 28th.
Last season Bastia relegated from the French elite division, having been the worst team in the Ligue 1 with 34 points earned and 29-54 goal difference. On the eve of a new season Bastia went through a pudent summer in means of transfers as well as training to a new season: the side participated in just one friendly battle resulting in 0:2 defeat to Bordeaux. It should be noted that last season Bastia was a "home" team: despite their relegation in 2017, "I Turchini" were beaten only twice in nine home clashes.

Last season Clermont had been fighting for a place in the Ligue 2 till the very last rounds and succeeded in achieving that aim. The side finished the tournament sitting on the 12th position in the standings with 46 points gained and 46-48 goal difference. Similar to the forthcoming rival, in summer there were not many news concerning Clermont. The team conducted one friendly encounter recording 2:0 triumph over Montpellier in it. Last season Clermont got just three defeats alongside with three draws and four victories in 10 matches at away grounds.
Clermont have not been broken by Bastia across five recent head-to-heads. Still, taking into consideration Bastia's results at their own turf in last season, I believe that they will manage to pick up points this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Bastia to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
