Rodez vs Annecy tips and predictions

Patience may be key for Rodez

On 56 Ligue 2 points, fourth placed Rodez host 15th placed Annecy. With 42 points the visitors are lagging behind their rivals.

The jury's still out on this one but it should be a good game.

Rodez have shown a clean pair of heals to plenty of their opposition in matches leading up to this clash. The hosts have won each of their last 3 games while the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 11 of their last 20 matches, away and at home. This doesn't look like the recent record of a squad that will fancy their chances.

The hosts are making the most of a recent run of form and they're gaining some impetus. Rodez have scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 20 matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. At the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 games.

Rodez have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides. They may not be that important but the head-to-head stats favour another home win.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. It would be misleading to argue that the favourites are a banker here. It's perfectly credible that the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It isn't a strong view compared to other previews but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value.
