Ligue 2 leader Bastia travels to Dunkirk (8th) on Tuesday to consolidate its first place acquired this weekend against Paris FC who host runner-up Guingamp, one length behind the Corsicans, in the clash of the 6th day.

With only one win in the last three matches, En Avant Guingamp (2nd, 10 pts) wants to stay in touch with the Corsicans and will have to beat the Parisian club (6th) at Charléty, which has suffered two consecutive defeats.
