Rodez vs Nancy prediction, odds and how to watch

Pape Moussa Fall scored three times as Metz dismantled Rodez 4-1 at home in Ligue 2, delivering the kind of dominant, competitive performance their previous four matches had failed to produce.

Nancy took all three points at Pau through a late substitute goal, winning a match that the home side dominated in volume but never in quality. The structure of Pau's attacking play was the problem nobody is talking about.

Nantes led twice and dominated possession, but a catastrophic ten-minute spell after the hour mark handed Rodez a 5-2 victory that the scoreline flatters neither side into misrepresenting. This was a coaching issue, not a character one.

Rodez carry one of the most productive home records in the early Ligue 2 season into Friday's fixture, but Nancy have yet to lose on their travels this term and arrive in no mood to be written off.

Rodez host Grenoble Foot 38 on Friday evening in Ligue 2, with the home side carrying genuine momentum and a near-perfect home record into a fixture that looks increasingly one-sided on paper.

Nancy have conceded 13 goals in their last five home matches without a single clean sheet, and Reims arrive in decent away form with goals in their legs. This has the makings of a proper tactical puzzle.

Nantes sit bottom of Ligue 2 with zero points from two games, and Nancy are hardly arriving in confident mood either. Monday night at the Stade de la Beaujoire has the feel of a fixture neither side can afford to lose.

Metz have not won at home in their last five attempts and conceded thirteen goals in the process. Rodez arrive in form and with nothing to fear.
