Clermont Foot – Rodez

Clermont Foot host Rode Rodez at Stade Gabriel Montpied with both sides stuck on 7 points, but the stakes differ. The home side sit 16th after seven draws and two defeats, having scored just nine goals while conceding twelve, whereas the visitors occupy 17th place having secured two wins but suffering six losses and a hefty 14‑21 goal deficit. With Clermont yet to taste victory this season, a win would be a vital boost, while Rodez will be eager to add another three points to climb out of the relegation zone. Their recent head‑to‑head record offers little guidance, making this clash a crucial test of who can finally break the deadlock.
