📖 The Preview

Rodez look the most likely winners here, and their recent run of form backs that up — three wins on the bounce coming into this gives them a real edge over Laval, who've been a bit inconsistent across their last six. The head-to-head isn't great reading for Rodez historically, but form counts for more right now. Both teams should find the net, and with goals expected at both ends, Laval will grab one back, but Rodez should have enough to edge it 2-1.
