Pau performs decidedly better at their own stadium than Bastia does in away matches. The hosts average 1.31 goals per match at home and have a higher xG index (1.51 vs 1.02), which attests to their offensive potential. Bastia has a catastrophic efficiency on the road – only 8% wins, a staggering 75% of matches without scoring a goal, and an average of merely 0.42 goals per match. Although Pau has recently lost three consecutive matches, their home record (31% win rate) and statistical advantage in xG and possession (54% vs 48%) give them a real chance for three points. Considering the poor form of both teams, a draw is also possible, but the hosts' advantage in key offensive parameters argues for their victory.
