Victory for Sochaux
We are tipping away victory in this fixture. Sochaux needs nothing less than a win in this game to remain in the top two places. The visitors are far much better than Nancy. A strong defence has kept Sochaux in contention for direct promotion to Ligue 1 if everything remains as they stand. The visitors have conceded 7 and scored 14 goals in 13 matches. Nancy is currently the last in Ligue 1 and faces an even bigger task against in-form, Sochaux.
Under 2.5
We are tipping fewer than three goals in this match. A review of recent stats shows that these teams haven’t been in their best scoring form. Despite being second in Ligue 1, Sochaux averages 1.07 goals while Nancy averages 0.69 goals in 13 games. Nancy is weak defensively but the fact that these teams drew 0-0 in April this year is another reason why we are settling for fewer than three goals at full-time.
Sochaux to open the scoring
Sochaux has the firepower and a stronger defence in this fixture to score first and not to concede the first goal. Backing the visitors to score first comes with a price of 1.80 on Ladbrokes.
Game Preview: Nancy Faces another Huddle in their Fight for Survival
With only eight points collected from 13 games, Nancy hasn’t impressed so far in Ligue 1. The hosts have only bagged 1 victory, got 5 draws and lost 7 matches. And even with a little confidence coming to this fixture given that the last encounter with Sochaux ended 0-0 in April this year, the hosts have a leaking defence to worry about. The only victory for Nancy so far has been at home. The hosts also have 2W and 3L on home soil. However, with only five goals scored and 13 leaked on home soil, this fixture presents another headache to a side that is already struggling with fear of getting relegated. On the other hand, Sochaux is ranked second on away record after recording 4W, 1 and 1L in six trips. The visitors look to inflict more damage on struggling Nancy because it is the only way of retaining second spot in Ligue 2.
