Red Star vs Reims Prediction 29 August 2026
🔊 Red Star and Reims finished last season just two points apart, but only the hosts managed to break into the top five. The visitors were ultimately let down by too many draws-14 in 34 Ligue 2 matches-and one of those stalemates came at Saint-Ouen: neither side found the net in December. Things played out differently in April, with Reims edging Red Star 3-2. Both clubs have started the new campaign in similar fashion, collecting five points from their first three fixtures. The Matchday 4 clash is set for August 29 at the Bauer.

Head-to-head statistics Red Star - Reims
Red Star Team Overview
Red Star are entering their third consecutive season in Ligue 2. The club earned promotion from the National in 2024, finished 15th in their first year back, and last season collected 58 points to secure fourth place. Their campaign ended there, though, as Red Star twice took the lead in the first round of the play-offs but ultimately fell 2-3 to Rodez. Over the summer, Grégory Poirier departed after two years at the helm, with Damien Perrinelle-formerly an assistant coach at Monaco-stepping in for his first head coaching role in professional football. Under Perrinelle, Red Star claimed three points away at Nantes, played out a goalless draw with Sochaux, and only conceded their first goal of the season last round in Boulogne. At home, Red Star have avoided defeat in eight of their last nine Ligue 2 fixtures.

Stade Reims Team Overview
Reims dropped down to Ligue 2 a year ago after spending seven seasons in Ligue 1, but they failed to secure an immediate return-finishing sixth with 56 points, just two shy of the playoff spots. Their attacking output wasn’t the issue: with 53 goals, only Troyes and Saint-Étienne managed more in last season’s Ligue 2. Karel Gerarts departed right after the campaign ended, and on May 21, Nicolas Usaï-who had been out of work since leaving Pau in the winter-was appointed head coach. Under his guidance, Reims earned a point away at Clermont and another at home against Dunkerque, who equalised from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time. Over their last 18 Ligue 2 fixtures, Reims have suffered just one defeat, and in the previous round, they came from behind to edge past Annecy.

Both Teams to Score Prediction
Reims have found the net and conceded in seven of their last eight matches, which strongly suggests another goal exchange could be on the cards here. Red Star also look sharp up front, averaging 1.7 goals across their last 10 outings. Crucially, both sides boast attacks that arguably outshine their defences. That makes a bet on both teams to score a well-founded prediction for this fixture.
Reliable Bet
In 10 of Reims’ last 11 away fixtures, no more than three goals have been scored. Both sides have averaged fewer than two goals per game over their last 10 matches. With that in mind, backing under 3.5 goals looks like a solid option for the upcoming clash.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Reims have both scored and conceded in seven of their last eight Ligue 2 matches-a familiar pattern for the visitors. Red Star are just as consistent at the other end, finding the net in eight of their last nine league outings. Reims’ matches have also been high-scoring affairs, with fewer than two goals only once in their last eight games. We don’t expect either side to keep a clean sheet here. The recommended bet is both teams to score. Predicted score: 1-1.
