Laval vs Rodez Prediction & Tips
‘Les Tangos’ continue to remain playoff contenders, but the team’s recent results have significantly slowed their progress up the table. Currently, Laval are in seventh place with 43 points to their credit, five points outside the play-off zone. Their main competitor in the fight for the top 5 is Guingamp, who have managed to create a gap thanks to the recent stumbles of the ‘orange and black’.
Rodez are 13th in the Ligue 2 table, with 36 points to their name. This is eight points ahead of Clermont and Martigues, who are in the risk zone, sharing 16th and 17th positions respectively. Thus, the club is relatively relaxed in the fight for relegation.
As for dreams of promotion, they may be postponed until next season, as they are 12 points behind Guingamp, who close the top five. On the last matchday, Rodez hosted Caen, one of the current season’s bottom teams, at home and only managed a 2-2 draw. Although the ‘red and yellows’ have not lost in five consecutive matches, this run does not seem very convincing, as they have only celebrated victory on two occasions.
