Another interesting game in the Ligue 2. Sochaux is in the 6th position after playing three matches. They welcome Dunkerque who are placed 16th after three games.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Sochaux form and stats
Sochaux's first Ligue 2 home game here at Stade Auguste-Bonal ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.
Sochaux are returning here after visiting Caen in a Ligue 2 game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Aldo Kalulu and Alan Virginius scored the goal(s). Midfield player Tony Mauricio got a match rating of 8.33 in that game, the max score being 10. Mauricio hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 29 successful passes (of 35 total). The victory against Caen came after Alan Virginius's winning goal. The Sochaux manager O. Daf was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 89th minute. A late climax in the match against Caen as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by Alan Virginius.
Ahead of that match, Sochaux lost 0-2 at home to Le Havre.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sochaux's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn one and lost zero.
Sochaux has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Dunkerque form and stats
Dunkerque have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Ligue 2 were 4 victories, 3 draws and 12 defeats from 19 fixtures.
Home advantage was not enough for Dunkerque in their previous game, as they lost their Ligue 2-match, hosting Niort, 1-2. The attacker Malik Tchokounte got a match rating of 7.15 in that game. Tchokounte hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. Late heartbreak for Dunkerque in the Niort match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Paris wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dunkerque playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and zero home wins.
1 goal so far away for Dunkerque, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Sochaux, zero draws and one win for Dunkerque. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
