Rodez host Saint-Etienne at Stade Paul Lignon, Rodez on Friday, May 14 at 8:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 3 points in the Ligue 2, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Rodez come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Saint-Etienne, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Rodez and Saint-Etienne have split their 9 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–2W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Rodez a slight edge, but Saint-Etienne are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
