In total they scored 32 and conceded 42 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 4 and lost 10 with 16/26 goals scored/conceded.

That defeat was their first after five consecutive league matches winning points.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rodez playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 2 Rodez wins, 9 draws and 3 defeats.

It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Rodez have played four with the results W1-D0-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Rodez has scored 1 goal and conceded 5 times.
