AS Saint-Etienne and Rodez face each other for the second pre-playoff of Ligue 2 on the path to the elite, this Friday (8:30 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
If AS Saint-Etienne approaches this pre-bar with the costume of favorite, the Greens should not underestimate a Rodez team which has given them a hard time this season. “ Rodez? It’s a great team that’s having a great season, explained Olivier Dall’Oglio. This is the surprise team of the season. It’s a balanced outfit. They started with a pattern of play at the start of the season and they kept it until the end with boys who showed themselves, particularly in attack. It’s difficult to play them at home this season, it’s not a gift. It’s a well-established team that gives the feeling of solidity and certainty. They will hold on tooth and nail to their fourth place. »
After overcoming the obstacle of Paris FC at the end of an incredible penalty shootout, Rodez wants to continue dreaming. ASSE has been warned, especially since the specter of the dam lost against Auxerre two years ago still hangs in the air of Geoffroy-Guichard.
The expected compositions
Saint Etienne : Larsonneur – Maçon, Briançon, Nadé, Pétrot – Bouchouari, Moueffek, Chambost – Mbuku, Sissoko or Cardona, Cafaro.
Rodez : Jaouen – Danger, Raux Yao, Mambo – Sylla, Haag, Taïbi, Rajot, Abdallah – Corredor, Hountondji.
