The Red Star must reassure itself before the winter break. The Audoniens remain on two heavy defeats in Ligue 2 against Troyes (0-3) and Pau (4-1) and a logical elimination (2-2, 2-4 on the tab) in the Coupe de France in Bobigny (N 2) last Saturday during the 8th round. They fell into the red zone (17th) but are only one point behind the first non-relegation team (AC Ajaccio). A surge is expected this Friday evening at the Bauer stadium against Bastia.
The Rino Della Negra stand will be closed to the public for this match after tennis ball throwing led to the interruption of the match against Troyes a month ago. “We wanted to go further (sectional) but the championship is making us lose a lot of energy, says coach Grégory Poirier. We have two home games at Bauer before this winter break. You have to do your best to get as many points as possible before the holidays. There is a real opportunity to get back into this championship. »
Rayane Doucouré, Bisenty Mendy and Bradley Danger are still absent. Prospective international goalkeeper Robin Risser, on loan from Strasbourg (Ligue 1) and arriving last Friday, should make his debut for the team. He compensates for the unavailability of Quentin Beunardeau, injured in Pau, who suffers from a partial rupture of a cruciate ligament and is absent for at least 3 months.
-“We have to give everything in this match against Bastia,” insists the Audonian coach. The championship is close. We’re not going to give up. We want to reverse the trend. We must be united. I am very optimistic in the long term with this group which is discovering L 2. » Opposite, the Bastiais (11th) have not won in the championship for two and a half months (2-1 against Paris FC) and remain on a series of seven games without a win (six draws and one defeat).
The match of the 15th day of Ligue 2 between Red Star and Bastia will be broadcast this Friday, December 6 from 8 p.m. on BeIN Sports Max 6.
