Best Odds and Top Predictions for Sochaux vs Annecy

Sochaux can’t afford to slip up at this point of the season when they are fighting for Ligue 1 promotion.

Sochaux to Win

The home side will have a two-fold assignment for this Sochaux vs Annecy match, keeping the pressure in a fight for the second position in the league while at the same time avenging their defeat against the same opponent only three months ago. Sochaux had a three-match win streak snapped two weeks ago against the league leaders Le Havre in a 1-1 tie which was followed by a goalless draw against Quevilly. Their unbeaten run is at five games, but with a home tie versus Annecy coming up, it is another chance for the team to possibly take over second place once again. Annecy is nine points behind Sochaux, they also have an outside shot of winning the promotion battle, but that doesn’t seem to be a realistic goal at this point.

Over 2.5 Goals

Sochaux vs Annecy could be a goalscoring fest with the home team being the most efficient team in the league with 37 goals as well as having the most over 2.5 goals matches this season with 14 in 24 played. Their game average is 2.4 goals. Annecy is not in the same category, they had eight ‘over’ matches. The h2h stat won’t get the explanation much clearer as they only have one game played between each other, and that was the match earlier this season in which Annecy won 2-1.

First Half Correct Score – 1-0

Going for Sochaux in this prediction. The home team is expected to put pressure on their opponent to score early, and that might happen with the offensive style of football they prefer. Annecy is stuck in the middle of the league table while Sochaux has everything to play for with so much stake in the game.

Preview, Team News, and Sochaux vs Annecy prediction

Sochaux

In a league that has so many even teams, and draw matches are a constant occurrence, Sochaux has been doing the hard work of setting goals and playing the most attacking football in the league. This is the way forward, and with that in mind they have a reasonable chance of earning the promotion. The hosts have Ismail Aaneba out with an injury.

Annecy

The visiting team did what they had to do in the first part of the season to ensure their league status for next season is secure. They have a nine-point advantage over the first team under the relegation line which is all they were looking for surpassing the middle part of the season. Alexandre Phliponeau and Romain Spano are injured while Bissenty Mendy is suspended.
