COLMAR, France (Interstat) — Colmar hosts Bastia-Borgo on Saturday, May 2, in a National 2 matchup that pits a surging home side against a visitor desperate to halt a three-match losing streak.

The game at Stade des Francs pays homage to a local matchday tradition scheduled for a 6 p.m. local kickoff. Colmar enters the weekend unbeaten in five matches following a 1-1 draw at Bourges Foot on April 25. The club’s recent run includes three clean sheets and only one goal conceded in its past four outings, with draws at FC Thionville and at home against FC Dieppois providing defensive stability. Colmar has not lost since a 2-1 defeat at Furiani-Agliani on March 14, a stretch that includes a 3-0 victory over Saint-Pryve Saint-Hilaire FC and a 4-0 thrashing of Biesheim.

Bastia-Borgo arrives amid its worst form of the season, having lost three straight after a 3-0 defeat at Entente SSG on April 25. That result extended a worrying trend for the visitors, who have managed one goal in their past four games overall. A 2-1 loss at FC Dieppois on April 19 and a 1-0 defeat at Furiani-Agliani on April 4 have dropped Bastia-Borgo into the middle of the table. The club’s most recent victory came on April 11, a 2-0 result at Beauvais. Overall, Bastia-Borgo has won only three of its last 10 league matches, with four losses and three draws.

The teams met Jan. 10 in the reverse fixture, with Colmar securing a 1-0 victory at Stade Armand-Cesari. That result extended Colmar’s recent dominance in the series; the home side has won two of the past three meetings, with one draw.

Both sides enter the weekend seeking to improve their positions in the tightly contested National 2 table. Colmar, tied for fifth place as of April 25, can leapfrog opponents with a win. Bastia-Borgo, sitting in ninth, needs points to stay clear of the relegation conversation.

Colmar manager Christophe Dumont is expected to stick with his preferred 4-4-2 formation. Bastia-Borgo manager Jean-Philippe N’Diaye may shake up his lineup after three consecutive defeats.
