Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sochaux & Nantes face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!

These teams have little in common geographically as Nantes have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sochaux form and stats

Last season, Sochaux's Coupe de France journey ended in the 16th finals.

5 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Sochaux have to build on here at Stade Auguste-Bonal in the Ligue 2.

The home team returns to Stade Auguste-Bonal after being equal after 90 minutes with Bastia on their last time out; the Ligue 2 game ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Bastia as Sochaux were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Ndiaye popped out and made it level in the 87th minute. Ndiaye was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Bastia after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Kalulu felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Bastia as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 67th minute. The striker Kalulu was announced as "man of the match" for Sochaux with the rating of 7.41/10. Kalulu scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Sochaux had a Ligue 2 home game versus Pau which ended with a victory 2-1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Valenciennes are coming to town in three days.

Sochaux aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Auguste-Bonal in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. From these home matches, Sochaux have conceded only 5 goals.

Nantes form and stats

Nantes's mission in Coupe de France last season failed in the 32nd finals.

Nantes have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-3-4 (9 played).

Nantes are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Ligue 1 against Lens. An amazing comeback from Nantes last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Simon scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. Simon came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Lens last time out, making the manager Kombouare feel like a tactical genius. Midfield player Muani was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.45/10. Muani scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Prior to that result Nantes won their away game at Lorient in the Ligue 1. The scoreline was 1-0.

Nantes have another game away in just four nights, a Ligue 1 fixture vs Saint-Étienne. A gruelling itinerary for the guests!

The visiting Nantes have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 9 games. 13 goals have been conceded by Nantes in these games.

Head 2 Head
