Gobelins 0–2 RED Star FC 93

A place in the next round

Paris 13 Atletico (Gobelins) come into this Coupe de France tie after a defeat, but their recent league record gives them reason to believe they can make the seventh-round meeting with RED Star FC 93 a contest. A place in the next round is the prize for the winner; for both clubs, progression would extend their cup run, while elimination would end it at the seventh round.

The league context adds an intriguing contrast. Gobelins are ninth in Ligue 3 with 16 points from 12 matches, while RED Star are eighth in Ligue 2 on 17 points from the same number of games. The visitors compete one division higher, but the gap in their current points totals is only one.

Recent league form

Gobelins have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats across their last five league matches, with the most recent ending in defeat. RED Star’s run is less reassuring: one win and four defeats in their last five, also ending with a loss.

Neither side therefore arrives on the back of a positive latest result. Gobelins can point to the more productive five-match sequence, while RED Star’s second-tier status remains an important part of the wider picture.

A split record in two meetings

The clubs each won once in their two meetings in 2022 and 2023, with no draws. The March 2023 league encounter ended in a 1-0 victory for RED Star. Both meetings produced two goals or fewer, a small sample that suggests previous meetings have been tight rather than high-scoring.

Our prediction
