Red Star vs Bastia Prediction & Betting Tips (6 December)

After being able to validate its ticket for Ligue 2 by winning the title of Nationale 1 champion last year, the Red Star is unable to exist for the moment in this championship. And he will seriously have to redouble his efforts for this Ile-de-France team so as not to return to where they came from by the end of the season. Because after 14 contested days, it finds itself in the red zone, in 17th place with one point behind the first non-relegation place. In difficulty since the end of August, the Saint-Ouen players were only able to show a small reaction of pride by winning against Metz 1-0 and Martigues 0-1 before diving back in the last days against Troyes 0-3 and Pau FC 4-1. Next Saturday, Red Star will face Bobigny for the Coupe de France.

Opposite, Bastia is not particularly celebrating in this championship at the moment even if this team still has the luxury of being able to compete. find outside the red zone. Indeed, with 3 units ahead of its opponent of the day, Sporting occupies 11th place in the ranking and it will even have the opportunity to widen the gap on Tuesday by playing the end of its meeting against Ajaccio previously interrupted for meteorological reasons. That said, Benoit Thavenot's players have not won since the end of September and they remain on 2 parity scores obtained against Laval 2-2 and Lorient 0-0.

As on the last day, defender Rayane Doucouré and replacement Kany should be missing at the moment for Red Star. It should be the same for potentially starting defenders Mendy and Danger who are also currently affected by physical problems. On the offensive level, it is difficult to really find a real lead in this formation since the precious Durand (2 goals, 2 assists), the former Bordelais Badji (2 goals) and the important Benali (2 goals) are the only ones to have scored more than once this year in Ligue 2. Against Pau, it was midfielder Eickmayer who was able to find the fault with a beautiful strike from the edge of the area. Sporting, the starting playmaker Vincent is still on the floor too. He is not the only one to have to give up this weekend since defenders Guevara and Traoré as well as young attacker Boukaaoui are also on the flank.

Suspended during the last day, the starting defender Akuesson will be back while the defender Roncaglia and the midfielder Janneh must serve a new match after having already been suspended in the Coupe de France. The last mentioned will also be absent again next week. Still at the top of the team's scorers' rankings, summer recruit Amine Boutrah should be able to start. This could also be the case for young Lamine Cissé and striker Rodrigues who have scored three goals.
