Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sochaux in 8th and Dunkerque in 12th place.
- Sochaux have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Dunkerque has the fewest points from losing position (0) in Ligue 2
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sochaux form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Sochaux have to build on here at Stade Auguste-Bonal in the Ligue 2. Sochaux have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Happy days for Sochaux in their previous game, a Ligue 2 match away at Caen (placed 7th) that ended with a 4-1 victory. Before that, Sochaux drew at home versus Grenoble Foot 38.
Sochaux decided the match against Caen in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (4-1) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sochaux, as the Ligue 2 home game vs Clermont is only four days away.
Sochaux can score goals in their home matches. After 8 league matches they have found the net 16 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Dunkerque form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 2 travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. It's a growing despair in Dunkerque as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Dunkerque has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Home advantage was not enough for Dunkerque in their previous game, as they lost their Ligue 2-match, hosting Auxerre, 0-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Caen.
A quick return to home after this game, as Dunkerque are hosting Troyes in the Ligue 2 only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dunkerque as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Dunkerque have conceded 11 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
