Ligue 2

Clermont Foot are firm favorites at home against a USL Dunkerque side that typically finds it difficult on their travels. Clermont's more consistent performance throughout the season and their strong home advantage should see them secure a comfortable victory.

Bastia will lean heavily on their formidable home support to overcome a determined Annecy side. While a close contest is expected with few goals, the intense atmosphere at the Stade Armand Cesari often proves decisive for Bastia in tight matches.

This is a heavyweight clash between two sides unexpectedly finding themselves in Ligue 2, with both desperate for immediate promotion. Montpellier's home advantage is largely cancelled out by Reims' quality, making a hard-fought draw the most probable outcome in a tense match.

Laval's pragmatic and effective style of play, particularly at the Stade Francis Le Basser, gives them the advantage over a Nancy side that has struggled for consistency. Expect the home side to be well-organized and grind out a victory in a competitive match.

Promotion-chasing Grenoble are strong favorites against a Boulogne side likely fighting to adapt to the higher level of Ligue 2. Grenoble's superior quality and formidable home advantage at the Stade des Alpes should be far too much for the visitors to handle.

Guingamp will look to leverage their strong home support at the Stade de Roudourou against a resilient Rodez side. Expect a tightly contested affair, likely decided by a single goal, with Guingamp's home advantage proving to be the key difference.

St Etienne travels to Pau as favorites, boasting a squad with greater depth and quality aiming for promotion. While Pau FC will be motivated to cause an upset at their home ground, St Etienne's superior talent should see them through in a competitive match.

This match at the Stade Bauer is expected to be an intense battle, with Red Star's formidable home record a significant factor. Le Mans will provide a stern test, but the passionate home crowd and Red Star's comfort on their own turf should be enough to secure a narrow victory.

A tactical battle is expected between two well-organized teams who are often in the promotion conversation. Amiens' defensive solidity at home will clash with Troyes' patient build-up play, making a low-scoring draw the most probable outcome.
