The league table in Ligue 2 tells a story about these teams so far, with Troyes leading Rodez by 11 points. Match preview to follow:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Troyes and Rodez.
Troyes form and stats
4 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Troyes have to build on here at Stade de l'Aube in the Ligue 2.
Troyes's last game was hosting Rodez (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Sochaux.
Troyes are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Troyes defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Rodez form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rodez so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). With the Rodez losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Rodez's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Rodez play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Troyes (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Le Havre.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 11 goals have been conceded by Rodez in these games.
Head 2 Head
Troyes-Rodez H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Troyes 1 win, Rodez 1 win, 1 draw. 2 of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
