Rodez gears up to face Nantes at the Beaujoire

Rodez’s Preparation

Rodez will travel to the Beaujoire stadium to face Nantes on Saturday 22 August at 14:00. The match, a rescheduled fixture of the 3rd day of Ligue 2, will feature the Aveyron side after a 23-game unbeaten run, but 0 points after two matches of the season.

Coach Santini must integrate new players while maintaining his ambitious game plan. He relies on the team’s magic formula and hopes to find all the ingredients at Nantes.

Nantes in Trouble

The Nantes side, relegated from Ligue 1, has started the season poorly, with two defeats and sitting alone at the bottom. The RAF’s return to the Beaujoire dates back to 1993, where they suffered a heavy 9-1 loss in the round of 16.

Santini, who still has to cope without his goalkeeper Braat injured, makes a few changes: Ponti returns to the left wing, Pavlovic starts in midfield for the first time, and Touho and Baldé are paired up on the front line.

Key Points

Rodez will welcome Corredor, a former Nantes player in the squad. The match will be presented by Banque Populaire Occitane and will be broadcast live. Fans can follow the game via the official Rodez Aveyron Football account.
