Rodez and Dunkerque meet in Ligue 2, with the hosts sitting 14th on 10 points from 10 matches, while the visitors are 10th with 12 points. Both sides still need points to climb out of the lower-middle of the table, so this is a game where both teams need a result more than a beautiful performance. Rodez just won 2-1 in their latest match, but their overall season has not been solid: they have scored 16 and conceded 22 in 10 matches. Dunkerque, meanwhile, have lost 3 of their last 5 by a margin of 1 goal or more (0-2, 0-4, 0-1) and only managed a 1-1 draw in their latest match, so the visitors' defense remains an area the hosts can exploit. If Rodez start with pressure and score first, they are likely to control the tempo, because Dunkerque seem to sit back and wait for counterattacks, trying to keep the game level. The game is likely to take a shape where the hosts have to make the play, while the visitors wait for mistakes.
