Stuck in the red zone for the first ten days, Red Star managed to get its head above water. The Audonians have had two victories in a row, against Metz (1-0) then Martigues (0-1), and have moved up to 14th place in the Ligue 2 standings. This Friday evening (8 p.m.), the Ile-de-France club welcomes Troyes to the Bauer stadium and has the opportunity to reach the top half of the table in the event of a victory. “Finding ourselves at the bottom of the table called us into question, me first and foremost,” declared Audonian captain Loïc Kouagba. We worked hard and it paid off. We hope to continue in this dynamic. » “Having won 2 matches in a row is very important. The ideal would be to continue and for the counter to run but we will have to have the right ingredients to bring down this Trojan team, supports coach Grégory Poirier deprived of Hachem (suspended), Danger (pubalgia), Mendy (meniscus) and Renel (quadriceps). In Bauer, with the energy of the public, you have to bring down the opponents. It is a weapon and even more so for the purpose of maintaining it. »
Penultimate in the standings, Troyes has also managed to raise its head in recent weeks. Like its evening opponent, the Aube club managed to win two consecutive matches against Caen (0-1) and Pau (3-0). A performance that the Trojans have not been able to achieve since December 2023. Stéphane Dumont’s men could even escape the relegation zone this Friday evening, and return to the level of Red Star.
The match of the 12th day of Ligue 2 between Red Star and Troyes will be broadcast this Friday, November 8 from 8 p.m. on BeIN Sports 2.
