Rodez form and stats

Rodez have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Ligue 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Rodez lost their last game at Clermont (placed 8th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Rodez won a home game hosting Dunkerque (2-1).

Troyes form and stats

The Ligue 2 season is young and Troyes have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Troyes goalkeeper Sebastien Renot is eager to challenge this, with his 211 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Troyes has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Toulouse for a Ligue 2 game that ended a draw (0-0). Before that, Troyes secured a home win against Clermont with the score 1-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Troyes as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Troyes have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Rodez won one, Troyes won two and one draw. two games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
