Bastia is set to host Rennes for the 13th day of Ligue 1, with the Corsicans aiming to return to victory after a loss against Reims (2-4) last weekend. Sporting needs points to climb the standings, currently sitting in 13th place with 15 points. Bastia has shown strength at home, being undefeated with four wins and one draw, while struggling on the road with five defeats and two draws.
Rennes, on the other hand, has had a somewhat disappointing start to the season but is gradually improving with three consecutive games without a defeat. The Breton club sits in 8th place with 17 points. Ryad Boudebouz, an Algerian international and midfielder for Bastia, acknowledged the team’s difficulties away from home and emphasized the need to improve concentration to avoid conceding goals before the break.
