The Sporting Club de Bastia begins its year 2025 with a trip to the Stade des Alpes to face Grenoble Foot 38, this evening, as part of the 17th day of Ligue 2 BKT.
A high-stakes meeting for the Bastiais who wish to capitalize on a good result before a crucial sequence of two home derbies, against AC Ajaccio on January 10 in the championship, then against OGC Nice on January 14 in the round of 16 French Cup.
Opposite, Grenoble is going through a delicate period. The Isérois remain on three consecutive defeats including an elimination in the Coupe de France against Cannes (3-2). Despite everything, the Grenoblois will seek to revive and move away from the red zone.
On the Bastia side, Benoît Tavenot insists on the importance of this match before the upcoming deadlines. “This month of January will be very important. It will take a lot of energy, physically and mentally. But before the two derbies, we have to concentrate on Grenoble,” he confided during the pre-match press conference.
With a busy schedule and highly anticipated matches, the Turchini know they cannot afford to neglect this first meeting of the year. This match could set the tone for an already decisive month of January.
Kick-off this evening at 8 p.m. at the Stade des Alpes. The meeting will be followed on SCB Radio with comments from Jean Pruneta.
Go Bastia!
