Team News

Bastia
  • Bastia head into this clash with a number of injury concerns.
  • Sylvain Marchal is out with a thigh problem, and Yannick Cahuzac misses out due to a similar injury.
  • Matthieu Sans and Salim Moizini both have knee injuries, Francois Marque has a hip complaint, and Florian Thauvin is suspended.
Marseille
  • Marseille will be without two of their key players in the midfield as Benoit Cheyrou and Charles Kabore are both suspended.
  • Souleymane Diawara also misses out due to a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Bastia welcome Marseille to Corscia having kept two clean sheets in as many games.
  • The islanders still have the joint worst defensive record in the league but have shown increased fortitude in recent weeks after keeping both Lille and Toulouse at bay.
  • Frederic Hantz's men may have a hard time doing the same again however, as they face a Marseille team boosted by the return of striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, and eager to bounce back after being humbled by Lorient last time out.
  • Still although L'OM will go into the game as favourites, Bastia are a difficult proposition in front of their home fans, and while they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet for the third game running, the Ligue 2 champions may be able to earn another highly respectable draw.
