Venue: Stade Auguste-Bonal (20005 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 20th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Red Star have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-17-15 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
