Red Star aims to secure their first league title in five years by playing Villefranche Beaujolais away from home on Monday night.

Villefranche, previously third in 2020-21 and 2021-22, have struggled to gain support this season, finishing sixth and currently in the bottom seven.

Red Star, led by Habib Beye, is back in business this season, seven points clear at the top of the table and on a four-match unbeaten streak.

Villefranche’s Rémi Bonenfant Plunger will miss a match due to a suspension, while Abu Ba is suffering from a knee injury. Sofiane Bendaoud is nearing suspension, but head coach Romain Revelli has no issues.

Achille Anani, Loic Kouagba, and Merwan Ifnaoui will face a one-match ban in a reshuffle by head coach Habib Beye following consecutive games without a goal.

Predicted lineups:

Goalkeeper: Sullivan Péan
Defenders: Julien Kouadio, Djamal Moussadek Medou Otye, Kobi Henry, Davis Abanda Mfomo
