Rodez Aveyron
- Rodez Aveyron have taken eight points from six Ligue 2 games, placing them 11th in the standings.
- Didier Santini’s side are one of the more entertaining teams in Ligue 2 this term as they favour playing an attack-minded 3-5-2 with an emphasis on wing-backs overloading and pushing numbers forward.
- This style of play leads to an abundance of end-to-end action, and while they’re one of the best attacking sides in the division, they’re also defensively suspect at times, according to our Rodez Aveyron vs Pau FC prediction.
- Tairyk Arconte is their top scorer with three goals in six Ligue 2 appearances and Evans Jean-Lambert has provided a creative spark in the midfield with one assist in the same number of appearances.
Pau FC
- Pau FC have collected 11 points from their first six matches, placing them fourth in the Ligue 2 table.
- Nicolas Usai has instilled a more pragmatic approach, with a compact block, double pivots and counter-attacking opportunities more his cup of tea than the high-risk, open play that Rodez favour. This makes the Rodez Aveyron vs Pau FC preview especially intriguing as both tactical setups will be tested.
- Antonin Bobichon is the attacking focal point for the visitors with two goals in Ligue 2 from his six appearances and has consistently been Pau FC’s frontman this season.
