Red Star managed to keep the place in the Ligue 2 last season. However, the start of the season wasn’t that good for them as they started with the series on six matches without a win. Two wins in last two matches over Ajaccio, 2-1 and Laval, 1-0, helped them to improve league position and take ninth place with 10 points.
The opponents met only four times in recent years. Two of these head-to-heads ended with draws and other two were Strasbourg wins. Considering nice results of the hosts at the beginning of the season and solid results at own turf we should expect Thierry Laurey’s team to continue showing top football at own arena.
Prediction for the match: Strasbourg to win.
