Rodez vs Red Star Prediction & Betting Tips (30 January)

A priori, Rodez does not really seem concerned by the fight for maintenance. With its 26 points in its pocket after the first 20 days, Raf occupies a very correct 11th place and it has a relatively comfortable lead of 8 points over the first relegation, which allows it to see it coming. Especially since the Aveyronnais are doing well at the moment. Undefeated since November 7, the Ruthenois started 2026 with 2 draws against Pau 3-3 and Le Mans 1-1. And last week, they went for 3 important points on the lawn of Nancy 1-3 during a meeting that was fairly well controlled on their part. For their part, the Red Star is by far the great satisfaction of this season in Ligue 2 for the moment.

Present in this championship for 18 months, the Ile-de-France club is in an ideal position to aim for a move up to the elite next May since it is in 2nd place in the ranking, 5 lengths behind the Trojan leader. That said, Grégory Poirier's men have been a little less efficient for some time. Beaten after Troyes 1-0, they were able to win against a Grenoble team numerically inferior 0-3. But last week, the Odonniens were held to a draw at home by a promoted Boulogne 2-2.

In Rodez, replacement midfielder Ponti and unused goalkeeper Margueron will have to stay in the pits this week. Otherwise, the Raf group should be complete for this match. The leaders did not retain experienced midfielder Tait after an express spell at the club. Same thing for the full-back Tourraine (on loan from Paris FC to Clermont now) who also left the club.

On the other hand, Didier Saintini can always count on the interesting Nagera (3 goals, 2 assists), the formidable Baldé (6 goals) and the midfielder Benchamma (3 goals) as well as on the distributors Evan's (7 assists) and Galves (3 assists). Mute for many months, striker Arconte (4 goals) finally found the net against Nancy.
