Sochaux form and stats

Sochaux have played 14 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-3 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Sochaux in their previous match, an away game at Clermont that ended in defeat 0-2. In the match before that, Sochaux hosted Rodez and drew the game 1-1.

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 seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.

The Sochaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Sochaux are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Auguste-Bonal in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 14 matches.

Chambly form and stats

5 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Chambly playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season.

Chambly played 2-2 against Le Mans in their previous match. Preceding that game was the away victory against Lorient with the score of 2-1.

An inspired comeback made the scores level in Chambly's duel with Le Mans. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Thibault Jacques found the equalizer.

We have checked recent matches where Chambly have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, two draws and two defeats.

The visiting Chambly have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 13 games. It's not easy to score on Chambly as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
