Ryad Boudebouz and Sporting de Bastia are bracing themselves for a challenging encounter as they prepare to host Saint-Etienne at Furiani for the 26th day of the League. The Corsican side acknowledges the formidable challenge posed by their opponents and recognizes the importance of securing a positive result.
Boudebouz emphasized the significance of the match, stating, “If we want to maintain our position in the top half of the table, we must secure a victory against Saint-Etienne.” He acknowledged that the task at hand would not be easy, particularly after their recent defeat against Monaco. However, Boudebouz affirmed the team’s commitment to giving their all on the pitch and remaining tactically astute, even if victory seems out of reach.
Despite their loss to Monaco at Furiani, SC Bastia has demonstrated resilience, suffering only two defeats at home this season. The team, currently placed 8th in Ligue 1, sees this fixture as an opportunity to challenge themselves against a higher-ranked opponent. Led by Djibril Cissé, who harbors aspirations of representing the French national team, Bastia possesses the potential to emerge victorious this weekend.
With the support of their home crowd and a determination to maximize their points tally, Bastia remains focused on their overarching objective of accumulating as many points as possible throughout the season.
