PSG – Bastia Ligue 1 Prediction and Preview

Preview

PSG – Bastia: 6th May 2017

After defeating Sunday night with Nice, PSG stayed three points away from AS Monaco. In addition, the leader has four games to play by the end of the season, compared to only three of PSG’s. Chances for the title seem infirm at this point, but the Parisians are not yet willing to give up. Moreover, PSG is likely to lose second place in Ligue 1, Nice being just three points away from the Paris team. A success in this match would keep the host team’s chances of winning the title, while at the same time consolidating the second position.

Bastia is on the last place in the league. Hopefully it would be for Corsicans. With three remaining rounds, five teams are struggling to avoid the last three positions. Bastia is only three points behind Lorient, which is ranked 16th in the standings. Saturday is the anniversary of the Furiani disaster, when after the collapse of a guest stadium, 18 people died and 2300 were injured. The memory of this tragic event could motivate the players in the game on Saturday.

Direct matches

The PSG won the most recent direct match between the two clubs. It happened in the first week of this year, when the Parisians won in the French Cup with a definite 7-0. Bastia lost each of the last five straight games, failing to score any goal in the meantime.

Probable teams

Angel Di Maria and Thiago Motta will be missing after being eliminated in the game with Nice. Presnel Kimpembe is also suspended for cardboard cumulation.

PSG
Trapp – Maxwell, Silva, Marquinhos, Meunier – Matuidi, Rabiot, Verratti – Draxler, Cavani, Moura

Bastia
Leca – Bengtsson, Saint-Ruf, Djiku, Keita – Mostefa, Cahuzac – Saint-Maximin, Ngando, Nangis – Crivelli

Conclusions

Even without being at full capacity, highlighted by the outcome of the last round match, but also by the absence of major players, the PSG should play in this game. Cavani, the best scorer in the league, has excellent chances to score against the “red lantern” and the odds of opening the score is a very exciting one.
