Unbeaten in their last four matches, Bastia is set to host Lyon on Sunday for the 17th day of Ligue 1. Despite a late draw against Ajaccio in the 82nd minute, Bastia’s strong home performance, boasting six victories and one draw, instills hope for Frédéric Hantz’s team to climb the league standings.
However, for the match against Lyon, the Corsican coach, Hantz, will be without one of his attacking leaders, Wahbi Khazri. The Tunisian international, who sustained an injury during the Corsican derby against Ajaccio on Wednesday, has been ruled out due to a strain. Additionally, Drissa Diakité, injured in the same match, will also be unavailable for the encounter against Lyon.
