Bastia vs Troyes Prediction & Betting Tips (13 September)

Bastia has not set foot in Ligue 1 for 5 years now. Logically, the Corsican club intends to remedy all this. Therefore, Bastia's start to the season is excellent at the moment. Its solidity in Furiani's Armand Cesari stadium no longer needs to be proven but Bastia manages to win its away matches, often a sign of a very big season to come for the Corsicans. Directly plunged into the deep end with this clash against FC Metz 1-1 on the first day during which the Corsicans shared the points with Metz.

Bastia beat Amiens at home 1-0 and Martigues 0-1 on the road. What could be better for ESTAC than a little trip to the Île-de-Beauté to end your summer? Indeed, ESTAC, after a failed trip to Ajaccio 2-1, moves after this international break to Bastia in the north of the island. Let's hope for the Trojans that the outcome of this meeting has a chance of taking them out of the red zone, and this last place in the ranking 0 points. Because in fact, before this setback at the ACA, Troyes had fallen heavily in the opening match on the Guingamp pitch 4-0 and lost at home in a stadium behind closed doors at Clermont Foot 0-1.

Following the incidents against Amiens, the president of Bastia was suspended for 8 matches by the disciplinary committee. Also, as is the case for L2 clubs, Bastia lost some great people in the off-season. Among them, defenders Keita (Reims, return from loan), Dramé (Estrela), Oko (Hellas Verona) and Souboul (Ajman Club), midfielder Siby (Malmö, return from loan) and attackers Santelli (Ajaccio, 7 goals ), Conte (Young Boys, 6 goals and 3 assists) and without forgetting the top scorer Alferala (12 goals, Legia Warsaw). Conversely, left back Mazikou (Châteauroux), midfielder Etoga (Dijon), wingers Cissé (Nancy) and Boutrah (Vitesse) have all been enrolled for this season. Lisandru Tramoni (loan, Pisa) arrived on loan. On the infirmary side, senior defender Guidi and right back Meynadier all remain on the floor, joined in the infirmary by potential starters Janneh and Tomi this week. Concerning ESTAC now, the situation is particular for the Aubois. Indeed, due to the fact that Troyes had the chance to stay in Ligue 2 following the descent into N2 of the Girondins de Bordeaux, some players left the ship perhaps precipitously.

Among them, the offensive Savinho (25 million euros) who has never played in Troyes, however (loan to Girona), Mama Baldè (permanent transfer to Lyon), Porozo (Leganes), Ugbo (Sheffield Wednesday ) and Larouci (Watford) no longer play in Troyes. Proof that the club still has ambition, it got its hands on Irié (DFCO, 2 million euros), Nonge (Juventus loan) and Junior Diaz (Reims). Pape Ibnou Ba (ex-Concarneau) played his first match against ACA and should play this one. On the other hand, the titular central defender Monfray and the experienced De Préville have joined the infirmary. Sent off during the last match, Mr. Hamdi is suspended.
