Top St Etienne vs Sochaux Prediction & Betting Tips For Ligue 2

Two prolific French teams will battle it out in Ligue 2 on Saturday, each involved in its personal quest.

BTTS

Contradictory to their ranking in Ligue 2, St Etienne actually have one of the best attacking records in the league. With 26 goals in 19 games, there are very few teams that can hold a candle to coach Laurent Batlles’ goalscoring machine.

Our St Etienne vs Sochaux prediction this week is for both teams to score a goal as neither one of them can afford to drop any more points. The Lion Cubs desperately need a win to remain title contenders while St Etienne aren’t out of the woods yet – the relegation zone is where they are operating at the moment.

Over 2.5 Goals

As we mentioned above, St Etienne scored 26 goals but Sochaux’s performance this season is even more compelling as the Lion Cubs scored 27. The head-to-head department also backs our St Etienne vs Sochaux prediction as six of the last 10 matches between these two teams ended with over 2.5 goals.

With the 2-1 victory being the most common result in this rivalry, it’s normal for us to expect an interesting showdown between these two at Geoffroy Stadium.

Draw or Sochaux

Having the home-field advantage and solid momentum isn’t going to cut it for St Etienne. Despite losing three consecutive games in the league, Sochaux remain one of the heavyweights and it will be nothing short of a miracle for St Etienne to get the three points.

St Etienne haven’t won a game against Sochaux since the 23rd of March, 2014, and this further supports our St Etienne vs Sochaux prediction for Saturday’s clash.

St Etienne

After a horrible start to the season, the former French champions are now looking sharper than ever. With two victories and two draws in the last five games, St Etienne are looking forward to the game on the 28th of January as they attempt to finally escape the relegation zone with a victory over Sochaux.

Sochaux

The Lion Cubs are underperforming heavily in Ligue 2 in recent weeks and with three consecutive losses, it’s understandable why our St Etienne vs Sochaux prediction is oriented toward a solid home team performance. Coach Olivier Guegan’s players will have to step it up a notch if they want to remain in the title fight this season.
