The only name on the scoresheet from Rodez was Nolan Galves (85'). Malik Sellouki (4', 56') scored for Stade Lavallois.

Team News: Rodez
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Rodez manager Didier Santini to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Stone Mambo (Dead leg) is sidelined.

Owing to an otherwise healthy group, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Paris FC manager Stéphane Gilli to be concerned with. Lamine Gueye (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

Here, we’re thinking that Rodez will need to put in a solid display to see themselves scoring against this Paris FC team who we think might do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
We therefore fancy a very even contest with a 0-1 advantage for Paris FC after 90 minutes.
Let’s see how it plays out.
