RED Star FC 93 vs Nancy Prediction

A longer look, with some caveats

The wider sample we have covers more than just this season's Ligue 2 games — it stretches back through last term's run-in and includes pre-season friendlies too, so it's not a clean read on current form alone.

RED Star FC 93: 20 completed matches; Nancy: 20 completed matches.

Comparative Team Statistics: RED Star FC 93 vs Nancy

A fixture that has gone both ways

These two have met eleven times since 2015, spanning Ligue 2 and the lower tier they were briefly both in. There's no clear pattern of one side dominating.

The last two meetings split one apiece: RED Star won at home in February, having lost away to Nancy the previous September. History here doesn't point strongly either way.

Where they stand right now

RED Star are second with 14 points from seven games, four wins and just one defeat so far. Nancy are sixth on 10 points, having won three and lost three in the same number of matches.

The goal difference is tight for both: RED Star have scored nine and conceded seven, Nancy have scored eight and conceded seven. It's an early-season picture, so there's room for it to shift.

RED Star have the better start, but the margin over Nancy isn't huge.

Durand the key man up top

D. Durand has four goals in seven matches for RED Star, clearly their main source of goals from the data we have. Nancy's P. Meïssa Ba has two in three, though that's a smaller sample.

Penalty cards:

N. Fernandez-Veliz x 3

On the creative side, Nancy spread the load a bit more, with both I. Housni and N. Kandil chipping in two assists each. Worth flagging too that both sides have had a red card show up in the player records, Diawara for RED Star and Mendy for Nancy, though that alone doesn't confirm who's available for this one.
