On Friday Jan 13th, in week 19, Bastia plays host to Pau in a clash of these two evenly matched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Bastia recorded a 1-1 draw against Évreux 27. Mendes struck first for Évreux 27 in the 16th minute, then Sebastien Antoine Luc Salles Lamonge tied it up for Bastia in the 2nd minute of the second half’s stoppage time squeezing out at least the one point for Bastia. Bastia is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Pau recorded a 2-1 win against Montpellier. Mons Bassouamina struck first for Pau in the 25th minute, but Valère Germain got the equalizer for Montpellier in the 70th minute. Pau should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Pau won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Pau is fortunate enough to have Mons Bassouamina in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Bastia’s most prolific scorer has been Santelli. The French midfielder has netted three goals over the last 5 matches.
