Rodez have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins but also some losses and a draw, so they've been a bit up and down. Reims have been harder to beat — they've drawn a lot of their recent games and only lost once, which suggests they're steady but not quite firing on all cylinders either.

When these two met recently, both games were close and had plenty of goals, including a draw. Overall this looks like a tight, fairly even match between two sides in similar shape, so a draw seems the most likely outcome.
