Rodez form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Rodez have managed 6 wins, 8 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 18 games. The Rodez fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stade Paul Lignon and will expect new points from this game. Rodez has played ten games in a row here without a defeat. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Rodez has four draws from their last four matches.

Rodez travelled for their previous game, a trip to Niort that ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Le Havre.

A painful moment in the game against Niort was the missed penalty kick from Malaly Dembele in the 37th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

The Rodez fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 18 matches. Rodez have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Nancy find the net regularly in their away games. 24 goals from 18 away fixtures in the league. Nancy have conceded 24 goals in these away matches.
