NextGOAL tip: Nancy +0.25 · 2 stars
Tonight's Ligue 2 game at Stade Bauer is one the table makes clear: both sides are in the upper group together. Red Star sit 6th, two points behind Nancy, so this is a match the hosts want to take to edge closer to the other side, while Nancy want to keep the gap. Red Star have just lost two in a row, 0-1 and 1-2, after winning three straight before that with scorelines where they always scored but also conceded. Nancy have come back the opposite way, winning three in a row and keeping clean sheets in two of those. Defensively they have conceded just 8 goals in 10 league games, fewer than Red Star, who have conceded 12 in the same number of matches. The shape is likely to be both sides taking turns on the ball and waiting for the counter. Nancy are more likely to sit deep and break quickly, while Red Star have to open up themselves at home. If Red Star score first the game opens up immediately, but if Nancy hold out early and get a goal from a counter, the game tilts further toward the away side who are comfortable when they have space.
