With 8 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses, the visiting team currently occupies the 15th position with 31 points. Their last match ended in a 1‑1 draw against Annecy away, after previously securing a convincing 5‑1 victory at home against Dunkerque. Rodez appears to be unaffected by the home advantage, displaying similar outcomes when playing away. In their last 30 encounters, they have recorded 3 away wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, netting 24 goals while conceding the same number. At home, they’ve secured 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 defeats, with 26 goals scored and conceded. In their last 10 Championship away outings, Rodez has managed 2 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, claiming 11 points out of 30. Defensively, they have allowed goals in 9 of their last 10 games, lacking solidity, though their offence has managed to score in 8 of those matches. Their away games tend to feature goals, as evidenced by 12 of their last 14 encounters in the competition finishing with more than 1.5 goals. In 27 matches played, they have only managed to recover from the first goal 3 times in the 14 matches where they were behind initially.
For Rodez, avoiding unnecessary risks in the standings is crucial; hence they need to avoid slips in this round. They face an opponent who’s also battling the relegation zone, presenting a valid opportunity to secure a positive result. Having shown resilience with two games unbeaten, they arrive with reasonable expectations to earn points, even on the road.
