Amiens will be looking to make it two wins on the bounce in the French second division when they travel to Bastia on Friday night.
Bastia are competing in Ligue 2 for the fourth consecutive season. The hosts came close to promotion two seasons ago when they finished in fourth place before being knocked out in the play-offs. Benoit Tavenot's side struggled last season, finishing in the bottom ten and haven't started well this term, sharing points with Metz last time out.
Amiens meanwhile are in the second tier for the fifth consecutive season. The visitors weren't in the promotion or relegation conversation in any of those campaigns, but this season looks set to be different. Under Patrice Descamps, they ended last season with a five games unbeaten run and kicked off the 2024-25 campaign with a fantastic 3-0 win over Red Star.
Bastia vs Amiens Betting Tips: Draw & Both teams to score
While Bastia have managed just one win from their last five competitive matches, goals having been coming in good numbers and I fancy them to hit the back of the net this week. Indeed, the hosts have now scored in their last 15 games across all competitions. Both teams scored in each of the last five.
Amiens have also had no trouble finding the net of late. The visitors have found the back of the net twelve times in their last four games, but their defence is also struggling, with Omar Daf’ men keeping just one clean sheet in their last eight matches.

Bastia team news
Bastia coach Benoit Tavenot isn't expected to make many changes to the side that drew with Metz last time out, despite having only managed to take a point from the encounter.
Having netted in that game Amine Boutrah is expected to reunite with Florian Bianchini and Félix Tomi in the final third, while Anthony Roncaglia and Gustave Akueson could partner in defence.

Amiens team news
Louis Mafouta enjoyed a fine campaign for Amiens last term, netting 15 times and has started the new campaign in similar fashion.
The French-born striker is expected to retain his responsibility at the tip of the attack and could be supported by Antoine Arthur Léautey, who also got on the scoresheet in that game.
