For the resumption of Ligue 2, Rodez welcomes Red Star during this 17th day, at the Paul Lignon stadium, this Friday January 3 at 8 p.m.
The year 2024 ended with an incredible series of 9 unbeaten matches for the RAF. Series which allowed the Ruthenois to leave last place in Ligue 2 to return to the middle of the table. The start of 2025 must maintain this dynamic because it will be crucial for the Aveyronnais with two receptions from direct competitors for maintenance: Red Star this evening and Troyes next week.
Remaining on last year's momentum would allow us to increase our lead in the red zone and why not look ahead. To do this, we will also have to manage a winter transfer window which promises to be rather calm but which could see Taïbi leave, he who gained stature in this first part of the season, becoming an executive in this completely rebuilt team.
For this resumption of the championship, Didier Santini has his entire group available. Nkada, RAF's top scorer with eight goals, is however a substitute, he was doubtful for this match, still hampered by a thigh.
