Sochaux form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Coupe de France for Sochaux, as the manager O. Daf led his troops to eliminate Nancy, and reach the 32nd Finals. Sochaux was eliminated in the 7th round last season in the Coupe de France.

The story so far in the Ligue 2 for Sochaux at their home stadium (Stade Auguste-Bonal) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sochaux, their manager O. Daf and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A strong away win for Sochaux against Chambly the last match, as Bryan Lasme, Alan Virginius (2) and Chris Bedia were on target. Preceding that match was the home Ligue 2 game against Ajaccio that was lost 0-2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligue 2 game versus Valenciennes in only four days. This game is also played here at Stade Auguste-Bonal.

The Sochaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. Sochaux's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
