Bastia take on the visitors Lille at “Stade Armand Cesari” in gameweek 31 of the Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, April 1st.
Bastia are in an awful form. The team has not won any match in 2017, the no-win streak of the hosting side counts for 13 matches and has been lasting since the 17th of December 2016. During that period Bastia managed to gain only five points. Therefore, it's no wonder that after 30 matchdays Bastia occupy the 19th place in the standings of the Ligue 1 recording 25 points gained and 21-40 goal difference. Still it should be noted that at its own turf the team were defeated only three times in 15 played matches resulted in 18 points taken with 14-13 goal difference. In 10 recent home games in the Ligue 1, Bastia recorded only one defeat, one victory and eight draws with five of them in a row.

In contrast to the hosting side, Lille have not been losing since the 25th of February which is three matches in a row and have gained five points in them. These results allowed the
“Les Dogues” to drift away from the relegation zone and occupy the 14th place in the Ligue 1 standings with 34 points taken and 29-37 goal difference. On the road Lille show consistent football as for one of the season's outsiders, having gained 16 points in 15 matches with 12-17 goal difference.
Lille have historical advantage in their matches against Bastia recording 2:1 win in the reverse fixture earlier of this season at their own turf. Bastia play unsuccessfully in 2017 but the team hangs on for points at its own turf in each match and I believe that the hosting side will gain some points this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Bastia to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
