Monaco - Bastia (Ligue 1)

Monaco welcomes Bastia to his "Stade Louis II" in a meeting of the 29th round of the French Ligue 1. The fight will be on Friday night - March 13, 2015, and the chief judge of the match will be Rudy Bouquet. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.53 for a home win, with a draw at 3.80 and 7.50 for the victory of the guests.

Monaco comes into this game with a mind for the upcoming rematch against Arsenal in the Champions League in the middle of the next week. Monaco will try to win the hosting of Bastia with minimal effort because can`t afford to write off this game. Leonardo Jardim has many problems with his squad. Brazilian Wallace is punished and with injuries are Andrea Raggi, Lacina Traore and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Also, problems with injuries have Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, Ricardo Carvalho, Geoffrey Kondogbia and captain Jeremy Toulalan. All of them probably will not be putted at risk against Bastia and will be reserved for the game against Arsenal. Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov again will be the main trump of Monaco in attack to win the three points.

Bastia arrives at the "Stade Louis II" in cheerful confidence, with only one loss in their last 10 games in the French Ligue 1. Blues have good memories of this stadium because right here a month ago removed Monaco in the Cup of the country after penalties. In the camp of Bastia before Friday`s game with injuries are Sebastien Squillaci, El-Hadji Ba and Brandao, as all three will not take part in the game. Goalkeeper Jean-Louis Leca missed the last game with Nice, but is now ready to play and will remain on the bench for his team.

The upcoming match with Arsenal is extremely important for Monaco. Battle of the Champions League and the problems in the composition of Leonardo Jardim suggest that Monaco will have problems on Friday night. In a view of this there is a possibility for Bastia to leave with a point or three of the "Stade Louis II".

Recommended bet: For Bastia or Draw X2 @ 2.50 at bet365
