Another appealing game in the Ligue 2. Pau is in the 15th place from completing three fixtures. They greet Sochaux who are placed 17th from three fixtures.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

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.
