Bastia – Caen

Bastia host Caen in what promises to be a decisive clash in the league table, with the home side sitting eighth on nine points after three wins and three defeats, their goal tally a modest 5‑8. Caen arrive in third place, having amassed twelve points from four victories and two losses, and boast a healthy +7 goal difference at 12‑5. The gap between the two sides is narrow enough that a win for Bastia could propel them back into the top half, while Caen will look to extend their unbeaten run and solidify a coveted top‑two spot. Both teams have yet to draw a game this season, adding an extra edge to a fixture that could reshape the standings.
