Rodez form and stats

3 victories, 8 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Rodez have to build on here at Stade Paul Lignon in the Ligue 2. All in all it has been a very rough period for Rodez who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 15 attempts. Their previous win was against Nimes, 133 days ago.

Rodez lost their last game at Quevilly Rouen (placed 16th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Depres, a natural forward, was the champion performer for the team in that match, scoring a rating of 7.32 (out of 10). Depres hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Rodez drew at home versus Niort.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Nancy are coming to town in three days.

Rodez have scored 12 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Rodez have conceded only 14 goals.

Paris form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 2 travels is 7 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Paris has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Paris's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Dijon that finished 2-2. The attacker López got a match rating of 8.6 in that game. López scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A 1-2 defeat away at Toulouse before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Paris are hosting Caen in the Ligue 2 only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Paris have scored 20 goals in 16 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 19 goals have been conceded by Paris in these games.
