Ajaccio hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 32 points and a 14th position in the Ligue 2 table. Visiting Rodez holds 13th place with 33 pts.
- Rodez have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ajaccio and Rodez.
Ajaccio form and stats
Ajaccio have played 13 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-4 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ajaccio to get some points in this home game.
Stress levels are on the rise for Ajaccio's attacking players as they have now played 404 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Barreto was their last goal scorer.
Ajaccio lost their last game at Troyes (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Ajaccio lost 0-2 at home to Clermont.
The defeat against Troyes was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Y. Touzghar).
Ajaccio aren't scoring a lot here at Stade François Coty in the league, with only 11 goals from 13 games. Ajaccio have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Rodez form and stats
Rodez have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 2-7-4 (13 played).
224 minutes! That's how long the Rodez goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi-Nzau and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's the second away game in a row for Rodez, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Auxerre (placed 5th) in the Ligue 2 last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Toulouse.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rodez as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Rodez have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
