Sochaux vs Grenoble Free Betting Tips and Predictions

The Ligue 2 match Sochaux – Grenoble sees a team that just dropped out of the promotion places facing a team who’s desperately trying to stay in touch with the leaders and need points. Below we have tried to give you our best free betting tips.

Sochaux to Win

Our first Sochaux vs Grenoble prediction is for the hosts to secure the win. They badly need points after only just dropping out of the top 2. Sochaux had been solid at home all season (W8 D4 L2). They will certainly fancy their chances against a Grenoble team that lost almost all hope of challenging for promotion after suffering 3 defeats in the last 5 rounds (W1 D1).

Doumbia to Score Anytime

Doumbia is only Sochaux’s second top goalscorer with his 9 goals. However, with our second Sochaux vs Grenoble prediction we back exactly him to score. He has been sensational at home lately and bagged 4 goals in just the last 4 home matches. He’s Sochaux’s in-form frontman right now and has been directly involved (goal, assist or pass to assist) in 11 of Sochaux’s last 16 goals.

Over 1.5 Sochaux Goals

Our final Sochaux vs Grenoble prediction is that the hosts will be able to score at least 2 goals. Against a Grenoble defence that allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 5 away matches Sochaux’s strikers will fancy their chances. Sochaux generally average 2 goals per game at home – 28 goals scored in 14 matches.

Sochaux vs Grenoble Lineups and Other News

Sochaux

Sochaux had to settle only for a 1-1 home draw against Bordeaux in the last round. Played well only after falling behind and all that could be saved was a point. Weissbeck produced another Man of the Match display and Sochaux are set to be missing him a lot this Saturday.

Weissbeck will be suspended and Doumbia is expected to be asked to fill the void in the number 10 position. At least none of the 6 players nursing injuries are important squad members.

Grenoble

Grenoble stopped their 4-game winless run with an inspiring 2-1 home win vs local rivals Annecy. This first win in the last 5 rounds keeps the Skiers just about in touch with the top 2. They will need a long winning streak now though.

Centre-back Diarra returns after a ban and should start. However, the team’s top scorer Phaeton (8 goals) misses suspended now. Defender Gaspar is also serving a ban, while the crucial inner midfielder Ngando remains sidelined. The issues in defence go even further with both Mendy and Paquiez sidelined.
