Leading scorer Hatem Ben Arfa is missing but Nice should still be too strong for Bastia.
The hosts sit third in the table and, other than the absence of the ex-Newcastle United attacker, have good team news. Their 4-1-2-1-2 system is fluid and they are likely to dominate possession in midfield.
Bastia have the worst away form in the division (W1-D4-L8). Their only win was at struggling Reims (1-0) and their away record against sides currently in the top 10 is W0-D1-L5 (with just one goal scored).
The price on Nice is well worth taking.

Nantes v Monaco (6th v 2nd)

Despite good form Nantes don't deserve to be favourites this weekend.
They arrive on a 12-match unbeaten run (W4-D8-L0) but their high draw rate needs to be taken into account.
Nantes have won less than half their home games (W6-D4-L3) and rarely beat the top sides. Their record against sides currently in the top 10 is W3-D3-L5, and W1-D2-L2 at home.
Monaco have the division's second-best away record (W6-D5-L2), have won five of their last seven games and lost just once in 13 outings (W7-D5-L1).
Monaco have the division's second-best away record (W6-D5-L2), have won five of their last seven games and lost just once in 13 outings (W7-D5-L1).
The visitors have good team news, too: Fabinho and Joao Moutinho return to reinforce the midfield.
The draw and Monaco on the Asian handicap are the bets to consider.

Lyon v PSG (5th v 1st)
Sun, 20:00 GMT
Live on BT Sport 2
PSG's march towards the Ligue 1 title continued with a 4-1 win over Reims last weekend.
Laurent Blanc's side show no signs of easing off despite going into the weekend 24pts clear at the top of the table.
They will be pumped up this weekend as they face one of Ligue 1's other big sides in front of a large crowd.
More than 55,000 fans are expected for the Sunday night showdown so PSG will take the game seriously.
Once again all factors appear in PSG's favour. They have good team news and are stronger than Lyon in all departments.
The hosts are below-strength in defence as right-back Christophe Jallet and centre-back Samuel Umtiti are out.
Umtiti's absence is a particular blow as he has held the defence together at times this season.
Lyon have a good home record (W7-D3-L3) but those figures don't tell the full story. They've yet to host the top three (PSG, Monaco, Nice) so it's little wonder their stats are impressive.
PSG are the selection as they should win if they play anywhere near their potential.
