The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sochaux are in the 7th position while the guesting Châteauroux worry at 20th.
- Châteauroux have the fewest points (7) away in Ligue 2
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
The story so far in the Ligue 2 for Sochaux at their home stadium (Stade Auguste-Bonal) is 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.
Sochaux lost their last game at Olympique Lyonnais after a 2-5 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory in the Ligue 2 match versus Niort with a 3-1 scoreline.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Sochaux has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Sochaux have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Châteauroux form and stats
Châteauroux, who have the fewest points (7) away in Ligue 2, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-4-9 (14 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row. With the Châteauroux losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Châteauroux, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Pau (placed 17th). A loss against Nancy was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The attacking power of Châteauroux when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 14 league matches away. 20 goals have been conceded by Châteauroux in these games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Châteauroux - Sochaux 2-1. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Sochaux, three draws and three wins for Châteauroux. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
