Bastia vs Lorient betting tips 4 October Ligue 1: "Bastia managed to pull out a point from visiting St Etienne last weekend, while even more surprising was the way they did it.

Although the visitors didn’t make many chances during the game, they didn’t give up and it payed off to them finally."
In 85th minute Bruno reduced the deficit, while the visitors made a huge surprise and left players of St Etienne shocked after a equalizing goal in fourth minute of injury time score by Modesto. It’s not an exaggeration to say that these two shoots on goal were ones of very few goalscoring chances the visitors had. In any way, although the draw away to St Etienne is counted as a positive results for Bastia, that draw also saw them extending run without a victory to four matches, having three draws and a defeat. Bastia is currently at ninth position with two points less than teams in dangerous zone, as the target remains staying in the league, if possible securing Ligue 1 status as fast as possible.

Still, Valbuena brought the visitors into the lead just before one hour of play, while they sealed the three pointer with a goal from Ayew in the first minute of injury time.
With this defeat, team from Lorient currently stands at eighteenth position in the league as they lead the trio of teams that is currently at relegation positions. Main problem for them remains awful performances away from home as the team has no goal scored in four matches so far, counting all four defeats.

Visitors are still without left defender Guerreiro (8/0) and midfielders Diallo (5/1) and Quercia who didn’t participate this season. Defender Lautoe is questionable for tonight’s game.
