Red Star
WLDDLD
Red Star enter this fixture after a 2-2 Ligue 2 drawn result versus FC Metz.
For Red Star, the scorers were Damien Durand (32') and Kemo Cissé (54'). Kévin Van Den Kerkhof (8') and Idrissa Gueye (74') scored for FC Metz.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Red Star have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Red Star have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals during that time.
Pre-game facts show that Red Star:
- have not emerged victorious against Clermont Foot in their previous 5 league matches.
- have not won at home in their last 2 league matches.
Clermont Foot
LDDLDL 📉
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against ESTAC in Ligue 2 competition, Clermont Foot and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
Mouhamed Diop (41') and Nicolas de Préville (59') scored for ESTAC.
The attacking players from Clermont Foot have been starved of goals over their last six clashes, netting the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those fixtures, Clermont have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 10. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Clermont Foot:
- remain undefeated by Red Star in games played away from home for the previous 2 league matches.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 6 league matches.

Prediction
We envisage that Clermont Foot should be able to find the back of the net against this Red Star outfit, however that may not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 advantage for Red Star after 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
