“Bastia”
The team in its history and bronze medalist of the French championship was, and on the Euro arena played, and in the cup format won. But in the past decade, staying in Ligue 1 was quickly replaced by financial problems and loss of professional status. Thankfully, it was able to return, albeit not quickly, and since 2021 the Blues have been playing in Ligue 2 again. Last season there brought thirteenth place.
The representative of Corsica is clearly trying to improve now. And, having started with a draw at Metz (and the latter equalized in the eighth added minute), then twice managed to formalize neat victories. Both “Amiens” at home and “Martigue” away beat 1-0.
“Troyes”
The club actually gave away two relegations in a row - here's a member of the international structure led by “Manchester City”. And if the departure from Ligue 1 was expected - “ESTAC” simply did not pull that level - then last season the team failed in the second division, finishing seventeenth there. Only the bankruptcy of “Bordeaux” helped to save themselves....
Or, perhaps, only to postpone the fall? Savio brought 25 million, Mama Balde - another 6, there were other sales that allowed to make a number of signings. But still, David Guillon's charges started the season with three straight defeats with a score of 1-7. Although only “Gengam” lost defeated, 0-4, but with “Ajaccio” fatal goal flew in at 89 minutes, after winning the first half.
