SC Bastia's Descent: A Struggle for Survival in Ligue 2

SC Bastia's Descent: A Struggle for Survival in Ligue 2

SC Bastia's recent performances have left fans and analysts alike in a state of concern and disbelief. Three consecutive defeats have painted a grim picture for the Corsican club. As of early December 2025, Bastia finds itself languishing in 18th place in Ligue 2, having amassed only 7 points from 15 matches. With a dismal record of 1 win, 4 draws, and 10 losses, the team's position on the table mirrors their struggles on the pitch.

The heart of Bastia's woes lies in their offensive struggles. The team has failed to score in their last three league matches, a drought that extends to two consecutive goalless games at home. Amine Boutrah, the club's top scorer, has managed to find the net only twice this season. Such stats are a stark contrast to last season's performance, where the team stood 10th with a respectable 19 points at the same stage. This year's tally, however, tells a different story, with a concerning goal difference of -14.

The lack of goals is not the only issue plaguing Bastia. Injuries to key players, including Boutrah himself, have further hampered their ability to turn the tide. With no new coaching changes or significant transfers reported in recent weeks, the team appears stuck in a downward spiral. The upcoming match against Red Star FC on December 5 looms large. Will it mark the beginning of a recovery, or will the struggles deepen?

The fans' patience is wearing thin. The club's current trajectory has raised serious questions about their ability to remain in Ligue 2. With survival hanging in the balance, the next few matches could prove pivotal. As Bastia prepares to face their next challenge, only time will tell if they can muster the strength to fight back and defy the odds.
