3-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the National numbers at home for Red Star so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Star bring valid hopes of a third.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 304 minutes.

It should be considered that a glance at the 13 most recent league fixtures shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Star has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Red Star have conceded 7 in these home matches.
