Valenciennes, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Valenciennes players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Dunkerque. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Dunkerque's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 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. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table. Their results in the league have been very poor so far this season, with only 2 wins from their 25 matches.
Rodez, Recent FormRodez will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against Bastia. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Bastia, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 13 games this season.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Andréas Hountondji will be hoping to create problems for Valenciennes in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Rodez.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Valenciennes sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 0-1.
In their last 2 league meetings with VAFC, Le RAF have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. Playing at home, VAFC have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rodez.
In the last 4 league matches against VAFC, Rodez have failed to record a victory.
With no real injury worries, VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rodez manager Didier Santini has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
