France - Ligue 1 for the weekend of 11-27

Caen pk and +0.5 over Bastia
Bastia has no business being the favorite here even at home. Bastia has lost 7 out of their last 9 while Caen has only lost recently to the big 3, Lyon, Lille and Sochaux.

St. Etienne pk and +0.5 over Metz
These are 2 teams going in different directions. Metz has only beaten Bastia in the last couple months while St. Etienne has won their last 3 matches and also has only lost to the big 3 in the last few months.

Lille -0.5 and -1 over Strasbourg
Lille is becoming my favorite team in this league and well-deserved because of how they have been playing. They are chasing league-leader Lyon who won today.

Saturday's result:
Bastia 2, Caen 0 (loss)
St. Etienne 2, Metz 2 (net +0.43)

Net for the day: -0.57

Bastia's win is about the 4th time in the last 2 weekends that a team that hasn't won in a while comes through. Time to re-assess.

Glad you like them scripter. Lille is doing well and chasing Lyon so they will want a win here. They have won their last 2 in the UEFA Cup. Strasbourg does not play well on the road.

Good luck.
