Preview

Match preview

Round 10 in Ligue 2 brings a tightly contested clash near the top of the table as third-placed Montpellier host sixth-placed RED Star FC 93, with just one point separating the two sides in the standings.

Montpellier enter this fixture in solid form, having posted consecutive shutouts with a 2-0 home victory against Grenoble followed by a 3-0 away triumph at Rodez. Their defensive structure has been their strongest asset, yielding six clean sheets in nine league games and allowing just a single goal across four home matches, where they remain unbeaten.

RED Star FC 93 travel looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 home loss to league leaders Saint Etienne. While they have struggled for consistency at home, their away form has been formidable, tallying four wins and a draw from five road fixtures. With both previous meetings between these clubs ending in 1-1 stalemates, this matchup shapes up as another closely fought encounter.

Double Chance

Montpellier or Draw

76%

Confidence

Montpellier have established a resilient defensive foundation on their home ground, posting two wins and two draws from four matches while conceding only once. With six clean sheets across their nine league outings and back-to-back multi-goal shutout wins behind them, they are well-placed to secure a result. While RED Star FC 93 have excelled on the road with four wins in five trips, they face a significantly stiffer defensive test than in previous away fixtures and arrive following a home defeat to Saint Etienne. Both historical head-to-head encounters ended level at 1-1, pointing toward another tight battle where the hosts hold the upper hand to avoid defeat.
