Laval after two defeats played a draw with Troyes and found themselves in the middle of the table, lower than they finished last season. And even to stay here they need to improve, because there are many teams behind them, who started the season weakly, but now look stronger.
Bastia are in bad shape. The winless streak has already reached six matches, although they are mostly draws, the team lost only twice during this time. Including Caen away last round 0:2, and the defeat was a frustrating one, because the hosts created very few chances, but squeezed the maximum out of them.
Both teams are in the middle of the Ligue 2 table and are almost equal in strength. In most of the matches of both teams there was an exchange of goals, most likely it will happen in this match.
