The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Toulouse are in the 12th position while the guesting Rodez worry at 16th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Rodez form and stats

The attacking players of Rodez have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 188 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Troyes with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Clermont wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Rodez were so close to getting something from the game against Troyes, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
Rodez have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The Rodez manager L. Peyrelade has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
