Match Preview
Le Mans hosts Bastia at the Stade de La Pincenardière on Friday evening, with both teams looking to improve their form in Ligue 2. Le Mans has had a mixed bag of results recently, winning one, drawing one, and losing three of their last five matches. In contrast, Bastia has managed to pick up a win but has also faced their share of struggles, with two draws and two losses in the same period.
Historically, Le Mans has had the upper hand in their recent encounters, winning four out of the last ten meetings without a single draw, suggesting a potential psychological advantage. However, both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, with Le Mans conceding in four of their last five games and Bastia in three. Given the odds of 2.4 for over 2.5 goals, it may be worth considering a high-scoring affair, especially with both teams needing to secure points to bolster their standings. Expect a competitive match with the potential for goals on both sides.
