Red Star vs Troyes Prediction & Betting Tips (8 November)

Champion of Nationale 1 last year, the Red Star had a hard time getting past the Ligue 2 level by collecting poor performances. Quickly in difficulty in the ranking, the Ile-de-France residents should therefore not be able to aim for anything other than maintaining this season. However, the Saint-Ouen club gave itself two big breaths of fresh air in a row by winning its last two matches. The promoted side were first able to get the better of FC Metz 1-0 before waiting for the final moments of the game to overcome the bottom side, Martigues, last week 0-1. In the ranking, Red Star is now in 14th place in the standings with 3 units ahead of the play-off, Ajaccio. Troyes, for its part, is still trying to climb back up the slope after having experienced a very complicated pass .

After experiencing 2 successive descents, Estac was narrowly saved by the authorities following the administrative relegation of Bordeaux but it was clearly not ready to tackle a season in Ligue 2 last August. That being said, coach Stéphane Dumont is little by little remobilizing his men who have not lost for 3 days. Winners of Caen 0-1 and Pau 3-0, the Aubois were then able to hold on to Laval 0-0 last week. In the standings, they remain in the red zone, in 17th position, but they are only one point behind the first non-relegation team.

On the Red Star side, it is necessary to highlight the withdrawals of the important defenders Meyapya and Rayane Doucouré, the substitute Kany, as well as the striker Anani (6 goals last season, in the recovery phase) which are still on the sidelines. This is also the case for potentially starting defenders Mendy, Danger and Mendy. Finally, the starting left back Hachem will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards, which leaves a particularly weak rear guard for this meeting. The precious Durand (2 goals, 2 assists) and the former Bordelais Badji (2 goals) should be started while Benali (2 goals) did not tremble to score the winning penalty last week. On the Trojan side, the important central defender Tahrat, the former executive of Préville, full-back Baldé as well as midfielders Chavalerin and Diop will not make the trip to Stade Bauer.

Good news, however, for Estac which finds its central defender Italian Gozzi who was suspended for the last 2 days. Offensively, the Comorian Saïd (3 goals) remains the most decisive player in this team ahead of center forward Ibnou Ba and his 2 goals. The experienced Ripard and M'Changama will also be monitored.
