Pau FC
- Pau FC and SC Bastia are locked in a tight Ligue 2 battle this season with the hosts sitting 11th in the table with 34 points after 25 matches and their opponents 18th with 18 points after the same number of games.
- Pau FC’s recent form has been poor with three defeats in a row and just two wins in their last five, however, the appointment of new manager Thierry Debès should bring a fresh approach to the side.
- Debès’ side like to play a high-tempo, wide-based attack with situational pressing but have been vulnerable at the back lately.
SC Bastia
- SC Bastia are in a slump of their own with no wins, four draws and a defeat in their last five Ligue 2 matches.
- The form of new boss Reginald Ray is uninspiring, with Ray preferring to set up his side in a compact, risk-averse way since his appointment in November 2025.

- Pau FC have won four, drawn three and lost six of their 13 home matches in Ligue 2 while Bastia have won just one of their 12 away matches, with five draws and six defeats.
