Sporting Club de Bastia is gearing up to face FC Lorient at the Moustoir stadium this Saturday for the 27th round of Ligue 1.
Ahead of their journey from the island of Corsica to Brittany, coach Frédéric Hantz will have to contend with the absence of Sambou Yatabaré, the Malian international, who is suspended for the match against Merlus. However, there is some good news as Ivorian midfielder Romaric returns to the squad after serving his suspension. With his availability restored, Romaric adds depth to the team’s midfield options.
Despite a recent dip in form that saw them lose three out of their last four matches, Sporting Club de Bastia remains in contention for European qualification. However, they will need to regain momentum and secure positive results, especially away from home, to achieve their goals for the season. Nevertheless, their solid performances throughout the campaign have almost guaranteed their presence in Ligue 1 for the next season.
