Pau welcome Rodez at Stade du Hameau, Bizanos on Friday, Apr 9 at 8:00 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Pau come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Rodez travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Pau won their last outing, while Rodez suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Pau and Rodez have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Pau win or a draw looks most likely.
