Bordeaux have handed a full debut to new signing Isaac Kiese Thelin as they take on Bastia in Ligue 1 this evening.
The young striker is to partner Thomas Toure in attack, with creative support coming from the likes of Nicolas Maurice-Belay and captain Gregory Sertic in midfield.
Hosts Bastia are to start with lone striker Famoussa Kone, who will look to the guile of Guillaume Gillet in a deeper role as he makes up part of a five-man midfield.
Ghislain Printant's side will be led out by skipper Yannick Cahuzac, with commanding former Arsenal flop Sebastien Squillaci also present in defence.
Bastia: Leca; Marange, Squillaci, Palmieri, Modesto, Cioni, Boudebouz, Keita, Cahuzac, Gillet, Kone
Bordeaux: Carrasso; Mariano, Contento, Pallois, Yambere, Planus, Sertic, Plasil, Thelin, Toure, Maurice-Belay
