The Ligue 2 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 11th and 2nd respectively.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Rodez have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rodez form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 9 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. Things are running smoothly for Rodez who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 16 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Avranches. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Avranches game have they lost an away game, meaning Rodez has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Rodez are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Ligue 2 against Paris. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Châteauroux that ended 0-0.

Rodez has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip at the early stages of this season.
