Has Red Star had time to move on? Slapped on Friday night by Laval (3-0), the Seine-Saint-Denis club suffered its first home defeat of the season, its second in a row after Lorient. The start of a bad run that the Parisians will try to stem this Tuesday in Clermont, where they travel to the Gabriel-Montpied pitch.
National champion last May, Red Star wants to be ambitious but is still experiencing a timid return to the antechamber of the elite. Grégory Poirier, who arrived during the off-season from Martigues (also promoted to L2), was keen to brush aside any idea of a crisis, for a promoted team that is 12th in the standings with 6 points and 3 lengths ahead of the red zone.
The fact remains that the menu promises to be plentiful in this week with two matches, with this trip to Auvergne to see a relegated L1 team, then the reception of Paris FC, contender for promotion, four days later. Fourteenth with 4 points on the counter, Clermont, who bit the dust in their last three outings, can pass in front of Red Star in the event of a surge.
Clermont-Red Star will kick off at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 24. The match will be broadcast on beIN Sports 8.
