Rodez hosts Lens in round 14 of French Ligue 2. The match will be played on Monday, November 11th at Stadium Municipal (Toulouse)
The maximum that a newcomer to Ligue 2 can count on in a duel on a neutral pitch is a draw. Although I must admit - Rodez did not hesitate. The team is located in the middle of the tournament standings, and it is not fighting for survival so far. It will be necessary to look further - the hosts have the smallest budget and the smallest transfer cost of the players, but it did not prevent the team from winning five matches in a season. I would note a high-quality attack and a rather average defensive line - the team has already suffered four defeats in six last rounds.

Lens is in the top five in terms of cost. In the last season, the team didn’t manage to achieve promotion in playoff matches. There is an opportunity to get into the first two according to the results of the current one. The lag is only two points now. The Blood-gold did not start very well, but they gained five victories in the last eight rounds, moved to the third position and defeated leading Lorient in the round before last. The team suffered only two defeats in 13 rounds. It is in good shape and has grounds to beat an inexperienced opponent on the road. Lens won four of seven away matches.
I would give preference to one of the leaders. Firstly, Rodez began to lose, secondly, the neutral field, and thirdly, Lens gained an excellent shape. The defeat in the French Cup hints at the fact that the visitors are fully focused on the championship. There is a high probability of a draw, and bookmakers offer to bet on this event for a coefficient below three, but the visitors have much more chances of not losing.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win with 0.0 handicap
