The Red Star faces a decisive moment this Tuesday as they kick off their Ligue 2 play-offs campaign against Rodez. Finishing fourth in the regular season without ever truly challenging for automatic promotion, the Parisian club must now navigate a high-stakes path to Ligue 1.
a challenging road to the top flight
After securing fourth place in Ligue 2, the Red Star enters the play-offs with a fighting spirit. Their first hurdle awaits against Rodez, a team that has shown remarkable form in the second half of the season. “Rodez is a side packed with talent and relentless energy,” warns their manager, Grégory Poirier. “They’re physically strong, technically gifted, and incredibly hard to break down.”
Should the Red Star overcome Rodez, they’ll likely face Saint-Étienne in the next round, followed by a potential two-legged playoff against the 16th-placed Ligue 1 team. That’s a grueling schedule—just four matches in two weeks—with no room for error.
