Rodez, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Rodez players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Laval.
It's fair to say that manager Didier Santini will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a good run of form at Stade Paul-Lignon recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Valenciennes, Recent FormAn important point secured against Guingamp will have left Valenciennes quite happy with their 0-0 draw.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Jonathan Buatu will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Valenciennes.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
VAFC have struggled to break down the Le RAF defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
The last 3 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Rodez might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 7 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Rodez manager Didier Santini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
VAFC manager Jorge Maciel has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
