Nantes – Rodez

Nantes were humbled at home by a prolific Rode Rodez, who ran out 5‑2 winners in a match that left the hosts still languishing in 17th place with just four points from six games. The visitors, now 11th with seven points, boosted their goal tally to 11 while keeping a tight defensive record, conceding only once more than Nantes have scored all season. Rodez’s victory also gave them the edge in the head‑to‑head record, having won the sole previous encounter between the sides. Nantes’ poor form continues, with just one win and a single draw amid four defeats and a goal difference of minus five. The result widens the gap between the two clubs as the Ligue 1 campaign heads into its next round of fixtures.
