SC Bastia vs Stade Caen Best odds and tips

Bastia are ninth in the Ligue 2 2024-2025 standings with 45 points from 33 games while Caen are 18th with 22 points from the same number of games. The bookies have Bastia at 1.62 to win this one, Caen are 5.00 and the draw is 4.00. Caen have been in terrible form on the road this season, winning only two, drawing two and losing 12 of their 16 away games. Michel Der Zakarian has been in charge since February 19, 2025 and has not yet been able to turn that record around. Bastia have been much better than their visitors at home this season, winning eight, drawing seven and losing only one of their 16 games at Stade Armand Cesari. Benoit Tavenot took charge on July 1, 2024 and has overseen the creation of a home fortress, although they have had a few bumps in the road recently.

Bastia have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five league games, which included a 2-2 draw at Guingamp last week. Caen have failed to win any of their last five, drawing three and losing two, including a 1-1 home draw against Red Star last weekend. Caen have won four of the last five meetings between these clubs, including a 2-0 home win six months ago, but Bastia will be hoping they can overcome that mental block this time around. Bastia have scored an average of 1.69 goals per game at home and conceded an average of just 0.81 in Ligue 2 2024/2025, which suggests they can control the game against a Caen side that has shipped 32 goals in 16 away league fixtures. Lamine Cisse leads the frontline for Bastia with nine goals in 30 Ligue 2 games this season, while Christophe Vincent has been a driving force from midfield with three goals in his last five appearances. Noe Lebreton has been a bright spot for Caen, scoring two of the team's 5 goals in their last five games. Bastia’s home record is impressive and with the bookies heavily favouring them, a home win is the most likely outcome. Both teams to score is rated at 1.83, so a goalfest could be on the cards as Bastia are built on a solid defensive base and measured attacks, while Caen’s leaky defence means they are often playing catch-up.
