Rodez analysis

Rodez at the end of round 1 in Ligue 2 had 0 goals scored and 1 conceded.

The average ball possession of Rodez in this league is 40%, which means that the team has a rather wait-and-see attitude and does not often take over the ball of the game. Therefore, for the match against Metz they should do something to reverse the trend and try to impose their game on their opponents if they want the win.

One of the team's signings for the season still seems to be in a slow pace of adaptation. Loni Quenabio played another underwhelming game in the club's last appearance, against Ajaccio. He failed to show the expected security and did not help Rodez to come out with the victory.
