Montpellier vs RED Star FC 93 Prediction

Montpellier travel to RED Star FC 93 on 26 October 2026 at 22:45 in a Ligue 2 fixture where the visitors hold clear advantage. Montpellier's recent form shows three wins, one loss, and two draws across their last six games, with eight goals scored and four conceded. A 3–0 demolition of Rodez Aveyron five days before this match signals attacking potency: Nicolas Pèpe opened the scoring on 55 minutes, then Lasine Menyan-Pavé and Déryl Benilahlu sealed it on 59 and 116 minutes respectively. That result came after a 1–3 defeat to Saint-Étienne exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Montpellier must address immediately.

Form and H2H

Montpellier under Zoumanah Kamara has mixed results in their recent stretch. Confident victories against Rodez Aveyron (3–0) and Grenoble Foot (2–0) sit alongside the heavy loss to Saint-Étienne, which revealed gaps in the back line. The team's eight goals in six matches shows attacking threat, but four conceded in that span demands tighter defensive shape. RED Star FC 93 will test whether Montpellier can maintain the intensity that produced a three-goal win just days before this encounter.

Best bet

Montpellier do not lose. The visitors' attacking form and recent 3–0 win over a direct rival make them the safer play in a match where they should control possession and create chances. A draw or win protects your stake.
