Rodez form and stats

Last season, Rodez's league statistics were 8 wins, 19 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 15th position in the Ligue 2. Over these 38 matches they scored 38 goals and conceded 44. Playing at home last season Rodez managed 6-9-4 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 20 conceded.

Stress levels are on the rise for Rodez's attacking players as they have now played 193 minutes without scoring in a league game. U. Bonnet was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager L. Peyrelade led his Rodez to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Caen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Paul Lignon. Midfielder Alan Kerouedan was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.02 (out of ten) in that game. Kerouedan hit two key passes. As you see from the result above, Rodez suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Heartbreak before that as Rodez lost 0-1 at Grenoble Foot 38's place.
