Season ticket holders at Stade Gaston Petit haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Châteauroux languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Sochaux will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
