Rodez form and stats

3-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Rodez so far this season.

Stress levels are on the rise for Rodez's attacking players as they have now played 186 minutes without scoring in a league game. Diakite (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Peyrelade led his Rodez to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Pau. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Paul Lignon. Rodez were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Depres, an attacker, was the top player for the side in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.01 (out of 10). Depres hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Bastia.

Rodez have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Rodez are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Paul Lignon in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Dijon form and stats

Dijon have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 3-0-6 (9 played).

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Nancy.
