Pau form and stats

Pau have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-2-6 (9 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Pau in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Amiens SC.

As you can tell from the results above, Pau was very dominant against Rodez, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Lobry, Naidji, Koffi and Nišić providing the goals. Attacker Lobry got a player rating of 8.33 in the game. "Man of the match" Lobry scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Niort's place.
