Sochaux to win

Sochaux have been getting along well with Laval in recent years and the team were even able to get a comprehensive 4-1 victory earlier in the campaign. Meanwhile, Laval head into the match after having lost seven consecutive games. It may be very difficult for you want to pick up from this position. The club are just a point away from the relegation zone. This match may head in favour of the hosts.

Under 2.5 goals in the game

Even though Sochaux have been pretty decent in recent weeks with nine goals picked up in the last six matches, they have a problem in getting goals when they go up against the top teams. Laval might be struggling with the threat of relegation, but has scored in the last four encounters – going all the way back to 2016. This match might end up with less than 2.5 goals.

Both teams to score – no

Laval do have a very good record against Sochaux with goals in four consecutive meetings, but they head into the upcoming game after having only registered four goals in the recent six matches. It is not a surprise that such a low turnout of goals is expected in the upcoming match. Even though the home team have been able to get a goal in four consecutive matches against Sochaux, this match is unlikely to continue the trend.

Laval vs Sochaux Match Preview – Team News and Analysis

Laval

Laval remain in the bottom four positions coming into the match. The recent loss against Rodez mean that the club have to make up at least three points before they can think about climbing onto the relegation zone. Valenciennes in the 16^th place have a better goal difference than Laval. Maxime Hautbois, Francois-Xavier Fumu Tamuzo, and Julien Maggiotti are out because of injuries.

Sochaux

Sochaux manager Olivier Guégan will be disappointed about his team not being able to build on recent wins over Grenoble and Niort. For the upcoming encounter, Olivier Guégan is likely to go with the same starting lineup given that there are no injury problems in the squad.
