Bastia – Rouen

Bastia host league leaders Rouen in what promises to be a decisive clash, with the home side sitting eighth on nine points after three wins and three defeats, scoring five and conceding eight. Rouen sit atop the table with 14 points, unbeaten in six games, having recorded four victories and two draws while boasting a superior goal difference of +10, having netted 12 and let in just two. The encounter pits Bastia’s modest record against a Rouen side that has yet to taste defeat this season, setting the stage for a potential upset that could reshape the mid‑table battle. Both teams will be keen to add to their tallies, but the gap in form and defensive solidity clearly favors the visitors.
