Match postponed to November 23 at 8:00 p.m. as one of the big posters of this 14th day of Ligue 2, Bastia – Lorient will be closely observed by championship fans, but also by other teams who will be hoping for a misstep from their direct competitors. Disturbed by high winds in Corsica which disrupted the training schedule, the SCB professional group was still able to prepare properly before receiving Merlus, 2nd in the championship, at Furiani this Saturday evening. The coach Benoit Tavenot presented himself at a press conference and sees this upcoming match as one of the turning points in Sporting's season.

“We are on a crest line and we can fall on one side or the other on a positive or negative side. Whatever happens, if we win we will have to stay on the good side and if we lose we will have to get back up. As we haven't managed to win matches, we remain within reach of everyone. Nothing will be definitive after tomorrow night's match, but it's certain that for confidence, we need to achieve a result. »
“Lorient is a Ligue 1 team in Ligue 2. We are not going to tell stories, they have a squad that can exist in Ligue 1. They have kept a lot of players and recruited a little. Afterwards, it is a team which creates a lot of chances but which also suffers a lot. We have prepared things to defend well and attack well, even if Lorient has offensive assets which will force us to do certain things to compete. We have a group that works quite well, which does not validate in matches, but I am expecting a big match from my group. If we don't have a big match, we won't exist because the team opposite is of very high quality. The PFC has a great team to go up, but Lorient is above everyone. »
