Boulogne vs Red Star Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

Propelled in Ligue 2 in favor of the administrative relegation of AC Ajaccio during the summer, Boulogne should not be able to aim for something other than this year. It is also very complicated for the moment for the players of Pas de Calais who have already lost 5 times during the first 7 days and who are struggling above all to be dangerous offensively. That said, after losing in their first 4 games, the promotes have just aligned 2 successes in the last 3 games against Bastia 1-0, Pau defeat 3-0 and finally against a team from Montpellier 1-3 quickly to 10. With 6 points on the clock, the Boulonnais are in the 16th row of the ranking. In front, the Red Star has established itself as one of the great satisfactions of this start.

After taking 15th final place in the ranking last year, the Ile-de-France club settled quickly at the top of the table thanks to very good performances made this summer as against Guingamp 0-4, Annecy 1-0, Pau 0-3 and finally Nancy 0-1 last weekend. Unfortunately for them, the Odonnians could not resist a very beautiful Trojan team on Tuesday evening after having opened the 1-3 score. Despite this setback, Red Star players are a very promising 4th place.

Despite the disparity in form, Boulogne’s home turf could level the playing field. Historically, matches between these two sides have been tight—three draws in their last five meetings, with each team claiming one win. Boulogne’s defensive frailties at home, where they’ve conceded six goals in four matches, will be tested by Red Star’s high-octane offense. Yet, Boulogne’s recent win and the urgency to climb out of the relegation zone might fuel a spirited performance. Discipline will be key, as Boulogne leads the league in yellow cards, averaging 2.6 per match.

Our prediction leans into the narrative of redemption and resistance. Boulogne, buoyed by their recent victory and home support, will find the net twice—perhaps through a set piece or a moment of individual brilliance. Red Star, with their attacking depth, will respond but fall short of a full comeback. A 2-1 scoreline in favor of Boulogne feels both bold and plausible, defying the odds and injecting fresh drama into the Ligue 2 storyline.
