Bastia take on the visitors Rennes at “Stade Armand Cesari” in the round 35 of the Ligue 1. The game will be played on Saturday, April 29th.
Bastia collapsed in recent months: the side managed to record just six points taken, one victory, three draws and six losses in 10 last matches. As a result, the team occupies the last position in the Ligue 1 with 28 points gained and 26-48 goal difference. And it is five points behind Caen sitting at the saving 17th place in the standings. Despite their outsider status, Bastia lost only four out of 16 clashes in front of their supporters in this season, however, they were able to get just three victories with the rest nine encounters ended in draws.

Rennes also lost their best competitive form at the end of the season: the side recorded two triumphs, six draws and two defeats in 10 recent games. Rennes’ extreme admiration for draws led them to the ninth place in the Ligue 1 with 44 points earned. On the road the Bretons conducted 17 encounters resulted in a single victory, eight draws and eight losses.
Bastia know how to play against Rennes in recent games: Rui Almeida’s team has won six out of seven head-to-heads since the 13 of December 2014. The most probable outcome of the matchup is a draw as both teams recorded more than 10 draws in this season. Taking into account the hosting side’s need in points as well as its head-to-heads’ results against Rennes, I believe that Bastia will pick up some points in the forthcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Bastia to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
