For his first season in Ligue 2, Rodez meets the requirements of the professional level and finds himself for the moment in 14th place, with a small mattress 4 points ahead of the first relegables. However, the Aveyronnais have displayed a rather disturbing form for several months. Indeed, they have lost 7 of their last 9 meetings in Ligue 2. After being beaten by Grenoble (2-1) and Châteauroux (1-2), the players of Laurent Peyrelade still took a point on the field of Paris FC last week (0-0).
