Head-to-head statistics Rodez - Nancy

Rodez Team Overview
On 1 September, Rodez loaned Ibrahima Baldé to Lorient. The forward left as Ligue 2's top scorer: five goals in four matchdays, including a hat-trick against Nantes. Without him, the attack has stalled - Rodez scored just once in the two following matchdays. Away at Metz, Didier Santini's side lost 4-1. Against Grenoble, Rodez failed to score despite having 18 shots. The defence has also been a problem: the hosts have conceded in 9 of their last 10 Ligue 2 matches.
Match Results: Rodez

Nancy Team Overview
Oswaldo Tanchot took charge of Nancy last summer. His side's record is modest: six rounds in, they have scored four goals and conceded four. Against Dunkerque, Nancy played with a man advantage from around the half-hour mark and won. At Nantes it was the opposite: Tanchot's men spent nearly an hour with ten men and came away with nothing. The player sent off that day was defender Elidja Mendy, though he has already served his suspension - in the match against Reims.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Rodez have gone unbeaten at home in 14 of their last 15 Ligue 2 matches. The slip against Grenoble looks like an exception for now. Nancy have a similar run: unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 away league matches. Their one blip is also recent - at Nantes. This fixture in Rodez hasn't produced a winner for some time - four draws in a row, three of which ended 1-1. We don't expect either side to break their run. The bet is a draw. Predicted score: 1-1.
