Fleury 91 – Bastia

Fleury 91 head into the clash on home turf perched in tenth place with eight points from two wins, two draws and two defeats, their goal balance a narrow +1 (10‑7). Their visitors, Bastia, sit just above them in eighth, having amassed nine points from three victories and three losses, but with a less flattering -3 deficit (5‑8). The two sides have already exchanged blows this season, and the narrow margin in the table suggests a tightly contested encounter, especially as Fleury will look to close the gap while Bastia aim to extend their modest lead. Both teams will be keen to turn their respective goal‑difference woes into a decisive advantage in what promises to be a pivotal fixture for the mid‑table scramble.
