St Etienne

DWLLLW

St Etienne are hoping to win again after their last result, the 5-0 Ligue 2 victory over Amiens SC.

For St Etienne, the scorers were Joshua Duffus (7', 40'), Zuriko Davitashvili (69'), Lucas Stassin (82') and Aimen Moueffek (85').

It’s not been often in recent games where St Etienne have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, St Etienne have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 9 goals during that time. In any event, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on in this match.

Rodez

WWDWWW 📈

Rodez will come into the game following on from a 2-3 Ligue 1 Play-off win with the eclipse of Red Star in their last fixture.

In that game, Rodez had 37% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Rodez, the scorers were Ibrahima Baldé (29'), Mathis Magnin (67') and Wilitty Younoussa (69'). On the other side, Red Star had 8 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Kévin Cabral (14') and Josué Escartin (61') scored for Red Star.

The numbers tell their own story, and Rodez have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in all. In defence, Rodez could really do with shoring things up.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings stretching back to 29/04/2023, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with St Etienne winning 2 of those games, Rodez 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.

In all, 16 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 10 of them for Les Verts and 6 netted by Rodez. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.67.

The previous league fixture featuring these sides was Ligue 2 match day 33 on 02/05/2026 when it ended Rodez 2-1 St Etienne.

The referee was Jérôme Brisard.

📰 Team News: Rodez

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Rodez manager Didier Santini to be concerned about. Hermann Tebily (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Rodez will surely be able to score a goal against this St Etienne outfit, although that isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a narrow 2-1 winning margin for St Etienne at the end of the match. Should be an interesting one.
