Top Sochaux vs Caen prediction and tips for Ligue 2

Sochaux’s players are hungry for points. Will they be able to get the much-needed full set of points versus Caen on the 20th of January or will the visiting squad be a bit too much to handle? Find out in our Sochaux vs Caen prediction below!

BTTS – Yes

The Sochaux vs Caen rivalry is known for being a particularly entertaining one with six of the last 10 events ending with goals coming from both teams. We expect more of the same from these two teams on Friday as they are both in dire need of points.

The managers can’t afford to miss any more chances as the season is already halfway gone. Sochaux are participating in the title fight and the competition is fierce. Meanwhile, Caen retains chances for promotion but they’ll need to step it up a notch as well.

Sochaux to win

With four draws and one loss in the last five league events, we can’t possibly consider Caen favorites to win the game. Even Ladbrokes agrees with us by providing the alluring 29/20 (2.45) odds for a Sochaux win. After all, the Lion Cubs won seven of the last 10 head-to-heads against Caen while the visitors have only two victories.

The last time the Vikings defeated Sochaux was on the 13th of August, 2011.

Over 2.5 goals

With seven of the last 10 games between Sochaux and Caen ending in over 2.5 goals, it’s logical for us to expect a glamorous event on Friday as well. Sochaux alone bagged 10 goals in Caen’s net in the last four events! Sochaux have the 3rd-best attacking statistics in Ligue 2 this season and with 26 goals scored in 18 games, we fully expect their impressive run to continue.

Sochaux vs Caen: match preview & news

Both squads are doing very well up front with Caen performing slightly less impressive at the back which is certainly the big difference between the two clubs.

Sochaux

The Lion Cubs are in 4th place in Ligue 2 with 30 points accumulated throughout 18 matches. With nine victories, three draws, and six losses, coach Olivier Guegan can be proud of what his boys achieved thus far but he should have his expectations high as there’s no room for rest.

Caen

We expected the Vikings to be a mid-table team this season and coach Stephane Moulin’s boys dully delivered. They won six games, lost five, and seven ended in draws. That’s certainly a mediocre performance that will keep you above the relegation zone but will also not win you a promotion to Ligue 1.
