In my opinion Bastia have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Obviously, St.Etienne is team with big potential and they are much better than their current position in league table (relegation zone), but in my eyes they are extremely overrated in this game.

After the break, Bastia played 7 matches in all competitions and avoid loss in all of them. They coming here full of confidence - in previous round they won on away against Grenoble by goal in additional time. Bastia is extremely solid at the back - in current season they conceded only 6 goals in 10 home league matches. After the break, they conceded only 3 goals in 7 matches in all competitions. They are only 5 points behind 2nd Bordeaux so for sure they have huge motivation to win this game.

St.Etienne in current season failed to win in 8 of 10 away league matches and conceded 17 goals in the process. It's hard to see them as a fav against solid Bastia. They coming here in bad mood after painful loss at home against Sochaux in last round - goal conceded in additional time. Guests have huge squad problems, today they are without: first goalkeeper Dreyer, second goalkeeper Green, key defenders Briancon, Giraudon and Palencia. Two important defenders Silva and Bakayoko left the club during the break so situation is really serious.

Bastia should be able to score against depleted guests defensive formation and that should be enough to avoid loss in this game.

在我看来，巴斯蒂亚很有可能在今天的比赛中至少得一分。

显然，圣艾蒂安是一支潜力巨大的球队，他们比目前在积分榜上的位置(降级区)要好得多，但在我看来，他们在这场比赛中的表现被高估了。

中场休息后，巴斯蒂亚在所有比赛中踢了7场比赛，所有比赛都没有输球。他们满怀信心来到这里——在上一轮比赛中，他们在加时赛中以进球战胜了格勒诺布尔。巴斯蒂亚的后防线非常稳固——本赛季他们在10场主场联赛中只丢了6球。中场休息后，他们在各项赛事的7场比赛中只丢了3球。他们只落后第二波尔多5分，所以他们肯定有巨大的动力赢得这场比赛。

< / p > < p >。艾蒂安在本赛季的10场客场比赛中有8场未能获胜，并在此过程中丢了17球。很难把他们看作是对坚实的巴斯蒂亚的偏爱。他们带着糟糕的心情来到这里，因为在上一轮主场输给索肖的比赛中，他们在加时赛中丢了球。客队阵容有很大的问题，今天他们没有:第一门将德雷尔，第二门将格林，关键后卫布里安松，吉劳登和帕伦西亚。两名重要的后卫席尔瓦和巴卡约科在休息期间离开了俱乐部，所以情况真的很严重。

巴斯蒂亚应该能够在面对精疲力竭的客人的防守阵型时得分，这应该足以避免在这场比赛中输球。
