Match Preview
Rodez hosts Laval at Stade Paul Lignon in a Ligue 2 clash on Friday, 22 August, with both teams looking to improve their standings. Rodez's recent form shows a mixed bag, with two draws, a loss, and two wins in their last five matches. In contrast, Laval has struggled, managing only one win in their last five outings, with three draws and a loss. Historically, the head-to-head record favours Rodez, who have won four of the last ten encounters, but Laval has proven to be a resilient opponent, securing two wins and five matches with both teams scoring.
A key angle to consider is the potential for goals, as both sides have shown vulnerability in defence. With odds of 1.75 for both teams to score (BTTS), this could be a promising bet given that five of their last ten meetings have featured goals from both sides. Additionally, with Rodez's home advantage, they may be able to exploit Laval's defensive weaknesses, making the over 2.5 goals market at odds of 2 an appealing option for those looking to back a high-scoring affair.
