Bitesize Prediction: Rodez vs Dunkerque – 21/11/25

Competition: Ligue 2

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be an enjoyable Ligue 2 showdown on Friday night, Rodez will welcome Dunkerque to the Stade Paul-Lignon.

Starting with the hosts, while Rodez might have extended on their Coupe de France adventure last time out as they secured a 3-1 victory away at Lavaur, Didier Santini’s men find themselves at the heart of a worrying Ligue 2 rut. Getting November underway with a 2-1 defeat against Grenoble, the Reds are now firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap. Despite securing a much-welcomed 2-1 victory against Annecy last month, Le RAF have lost each of their other three Ligue 2 appearances and they have shown some worrying defensive issues. Including another 2-1 loss agains Amiens on October 25th, Rodez have failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to September 12th. Likewise, shipping 30 Ligue 2 strikes so far this season, only three clubs among France’s second-tier have conceded more goals.

As for the visitors, while Dunkerque might have endured a stuttering start to proceedings back in August, Les Maritmes have come roaring back in a stellar fashion. Extending on their respective Coupe de France adventure last weekend as they edged past Boulogne, Albert Sanchez’s men have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Getting November underway with an eye-catching 2-1 win away at Reims, the promotion hopefuls have registered 10 points from their previous four Ligue 2 appearances. Skyrocketing their way up the table, Dunkerque should be smelling a potential opportunity when they travel to the Stade Paul-Lignon on Friday night. Signing off October with consecutive 3-0 victories against Red Star and Pau FC, Sanchez’s side have also impressed with their clinical performances in the final third. Including a 6-2 romp against Amiens on September 27th, the Blues have notched 25 Ligue 2 goals this season and hold the third-best attacking return.
