Rodez vs Dunkerque Prediction & Betting Tips (21 November)

Among the locals, the usual starting midfielder Trouillet, the rookie Tebily, and the replacement goalkeeper Margueron all still have to be patient in the infirmary. On the other hand, good news for Raf with the returns from suspension of striker Arconte (3 goals) and midfielder Mendes Correia who had missed the trip to Grenoble before the international break. The interesting Nagera (2 goals, 2 assists), the supersub Baldé (3 goals) and the midfielder Benchama (2 goals) will probably be present, all of whom can pose problems for the northern defense. Replacing until now, midfield recruit Flavien Tait could claim a starting place from now on. In Dunkirk, midfield supersub Sylvestre (3 assists decisive), the ineffective striker Kanté and the young substitute Massock are still not recovered and they should all miss this trip to Aveyron.

Same sad observation for the central defender Sangante and for the starting left side Abner who joined the medical staff more recently. On the other hand, the Northerners should be able to rely on the services of their young nugget Yassine (1 goal, 4 assists), winger Essimi (5 goals, 3 assists) and striker Robinet (4 goals) who scored his team's only goal against Boulogne. In the middle, the excellent executives that are Sekongo (4 goals, 2 assists) and especially Bardeli (6 goals, 3 assists) form one of the best midfields in Ligue 2. The probable line-ups for Rodez - Dunkirk:

Historically, meetings between Rodez and Dunkerque have been tight, with Rodez often enjoying the upper hand. In the last twelve encounters, Rodez have won six, while Dunkerque managed only two victories, with four matches ending in draws. This season, Rodez’s home advantage has been notable, but Dunkerque’s recent performances suggest they are capable of upsetting the odds. Both teams have been averaging around two to three goals per game collectively, which points to a lively contest. The narrative leading into this match is one of Rodez seeking stability and Dunkerque aiming to prove they can consistently deliver results, especially in challenging away fixtures.

Taking all factors into account, including Rodez’s uneven form and Dunkerque’s ability to snatch points on the road, the prediction leans toward a narrow away victory. Rodez may find the net through their attacking midfield, but Dunkerque’s sharper edge in recent weeks could tilt the balance. The expected correct score for this Ligue 2 clash is 1:2, with Dunkerque edging Rodez in a competitive and hard-fought encounter. This outcome reflects Dunkerque’s knack for capitalizing on key chances while Rodez continue to struggle with defensive lapses that have cost them valuable points in recent matches.
