Bastia vs Amiens tips and predictions

Hard to split teams in Ligue 2 clash; draw likely

There's nothing between Bastia and Amiens. The two sides are sitting in 12th place with 46 points in the Ligue 2 so it's all to play for. The draw looks like a big price as both of these sides will look to make a statement.

Arguments can be made for both sides and whatever happens it will not be a surprise to see them cancel each other out. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have not been at their best in front of goal. Bastia have averaged 0.8 goals in their last 5 home starts which isn't great. Amiens are averaging 0.6 goals from their last 5 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 5 of the last 9 have been draws.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It isn't a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Bastia have drawn 4 of their last 12 matches on their own soil and Amiens have drawn 11 of their last 19 matches. The last time they went the distance was when they drew with Troyes last Saturday and while any draw will do, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. The feeling is it will be a close encounter but without finding reason to justify a home or away win in the 1X2, the play has to be with the value offered up in the draw price.
