Week 24 features a match on Saturday Feb 18th, where Rodez will travel to Valenciennes to battle Valenciennes in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams.

Donatien Gomis scored the first goal for Guingamp in the 41st minute, then Baptiste Guillaume added another in the 60th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while rodez is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Nîmes. Clément Depres scored the first goal for Rodez in the 7th minute from the penalty spot, then Rafiki Said Ahamada tied it up for Nîmes in the 50th minute from the penalty spot squeezing out at least the one point for Nîmes.

On Saturday Sep 10th, Rodez hosted Valenciennes at the Stade Paul Lignon in their last match together. Rodez and Valenciennes battled to a 1-1 draw. Corredor scored the first goal for Rodez in the 52nd minute, then Marius Noubissi tied it up for Valenciennes in the 73rd minute on a feed from Picouleau squeezing out at least the one point for Valenciennes.
Clément Depres has been the most prolific scorer on Rodez in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Jason Berthomier and Ugo Bonnet are the top scorers for Valenciennes in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
