In 16th round of Ligue 1, Monaco will host Bastia. Match between 3rd and 17th team should bring us one great match, even tough it doesn't sound very attracitve.
Monaco is 3rd team in division and they are in great shape. At this moment they are 3 points behind 1st Nice and they secured their moving on to the next stage in Champions League. Row of 9 unbeaten matches (6 wins and 3 draws) in both competitions look great and today they have chance to make turn that into 10 matches row. They are the most dangerous team playing forward with 44 scored goals all together and Carrillo, Falcao, Fabinho, Germain etc. work as a real team each of them taking goals and that is what I like about them. There is no one star you need to block and that's it...here you have several players and you never know who will take the shot. Playing at home, they have 6-1-0 and goal difference 26:6. If we look at Ligue 1 performance, they score at least 2 goals per home match. They are the only team who have played all their home matches with at least 3 goals on match (their average is 4.6 goals per home match).
Bastia is looking bad. They started this season in mixed shape but lately they are losing or playing draws (no wonder why they are 17th). They were looking for win in last 8 matches, but that went wrong. Today, they can try to win, but they will happy if they manage to take 1 point back home. Playing away, their score is 1-1-5 with goal difference 6:9. This win was on the start of the season, but then they had 5 losses in a row and in their last away match they surpisingly manage to take a draw against the leader Nice. That result can be their hope, because if they managed to take 1 point from the leader, maybe they can do it again with 3rd team. After all, that Nice beat Monaco 4:0 this season.
I don't believe Monaco can lose points here and if they do, it will be huge surprise. Bastia maybe looks hard team to play with, their goal difference tells how strong they are, but it doesn't mean they are good. I am sure Monaco will find the way to brake that strong defense, but what looks interesting to me are odds on at least 3 goals. Quality difference and their shape is just too big and even stronger teams than Bastia took 2, 3 or even more goals. Maybe it will be hard, but it won't be the first time for Monaco to achieve high win against Bastia, so I am going for these nice odds and at least 3 goals in this match.
