On Friday Sep 2nd, Rodez will travel to Guingamp to battle Guingamp in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Guingamp recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Bordeaux. Jérémy Livolant struck first for Guingamp in the 6th minute on a feed from Maxime Barthelmé, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Bordeaux couldn’t manage to score, and Guingamp took the shutout win. Guingamp is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while rodez sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Bastia. Clément Depres scored the first goal for Rodez in the 52nd minute, then Hatim Far added another in the 71st minute on a feed from Kilian Corredor In the end, Bastia was frustrated by Rodez’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Rodez ended the match with the shutout victory. Rodez looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Guingamp won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Clément Depres has been the most prolific scorer on Rodez in his last 5 matches with 2 goals. Guingamp’s most prolific scorer has been Jérémy Livolant. He has netted 3 goals over the last 5 matches.
