Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade Paul Lignon (33150 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the Ligue 2 so far, with Rodez placed 5th and Caen sitting in the 6th position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Caen have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rodez form and stats

Rodez have only played one Ligue 2 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 14 matches.

Rodez drew their last game, 1-1 away at Pau (placed 18th). Ahead of that match, Rodez won a home game hosting Grenoble Foot 38 (1-0).

A painful moment in the game against Pau was the missed penalty kick from Ugo Bonnet in the 60th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rodez at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Caen form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Ligue 2 away game of the season. During their previous season 14 away games resulted in 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

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. Caen goalkeeper Remy Riou is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Caen go into this game after a win, the home game against Ajaccio that ended 1-0. A 0-0 draw at Clermont's stadium before that.

Caen have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
