Rodez AF performance check

Rodez AF, under the stewardship of coach Didier Santini, has experienced a tumultuous start to the season. Currently sitting in 13th place, the team has managed to achieve only 3 wins from 9 matches, highlighting a struggle for consistency. Their recent form shows 3 wins against 2 defeats in their last five matches, with a notable victory against FC Martigues, where they won 2-0 away from home. Despite the triumphs, the team’s defensive frailties have been evident, as they have conceded 13 goals in just 9 matches.
