Sochaux form and stats

A Ligue 2 draw at home so far for Sochaux. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 19 matches.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. Maxime was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager Guégan led his Sochaux to a defeat away at Grenoble Foot 38. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Auguste-Bonal. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Kalulu for missing a penalty kick versus Grenoble Foot 38 in the 68th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Ozornwafor was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.43 out of 10. The defender Ozornwafor won 7 of 9 duels.

Before that, Sochaux drew at home versus Paris.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sochaux have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Early season league goal statistics from Sochaux's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
