Ligue 2 – 14th day: the RAF against its twin brother

the essential
Rodez receives Quevilly Rouen on Saturday, October 30, a team that shares the same statistics. Kick-off at 7 p.m.

Same colors, same number of points (16), wins (4), draws (4) and losses (5), goals scored (13), and almost conceded goals (15 for the Aveyronnais, 16 for the Normans). This season, Quevilly Rouen (12e) walk in the shadow of Rodez (11e), which he challenges this Saturday evening at Paul-Lignon. For Rodez, it will be time to get rid of this bulky Siamese brother.

Last weekend, the “blood and gold” ended their bleeding of seven consecutive games without a win by winning in Niort, and Laurent Peyrelade saw “very good signs, against a team in full confidence “. The performance at the Chamois, the coach judged it “very consistent, just technically”. A week later, to switch, you will have to change and put on “the warming blue”, facing a false brother that Peyrelade describes as “strong, lively in one against one”.

Inconsistency, same struggle

Strong, Quevilly Rouen was in his last match to resist Sochaux (1-1) and thus allow TFC to keep its place of leader. But like the RAF before its upturn, the “red and yellow” of the North remained on a bad streak of six unsuccessful encounters, and like the RAF, their irregularity blocked their view upwards. Capable of winning at Ajaccio as of collapsing at home against Niort the following week, the men of Bruno Irlès, the former coach of Pau FC and Sheriff Tiraspol, are struggling to continue for their return to Ligue 2 .

For his part, Laurent Peyrelade, who continues his third season in Ligue 2 with the RAF, begins to reap the fruits of his labor: “Our possession is much better this year. We have the technical quality and the arguments to play the Inside the game. We are progressing little by little, appreciates the former Lille player. We need a little more precision in the last 30 meters, offensive and defensive. ” This will be one of the keys to finally get rid of its Norman shadow.
