Diligent, concentrated, the ACA players are perhaps more than usual. The situation demands it. The club is experiencing significant financial and sporting problems.
It is now Thierry Debès who acts as interim coach, after the ousting of Mathieu Chabert.
This Friday, January 10, the Ajaccians, who have not won a single away match this season, will challenge SC Bastia, undefeated at Furiani.
-On the Sporting side, the situation is less worrying. But Benoît Tavenot’s men suffered a bitter defeat in Grenoble. This evening, the Blues will be deprived of one of their key pieces in attack: Amine Boutrah, who has the flu.
The report by Frédéric Danesi, Guillaume Leonetti, Jean-Philippe Mattei and Julien Castelli:

For the occasion, the match will be played in a sold-out Furiani stadium, knowing that part of the South stand is closed following sanctions taken by the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League against from the Bastia club.
In order to avoid excesses, like those of the first leg in Ajaccio, visiting supporters are prohibited from traveling. The Haute-Corse prefecture also announces that a reinforced law enforcement system will be deployed.
