8-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Sochaux so far this season. Sochaux has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade Auguste-Bonal, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The Sochaux goalkeeper Maxence Andre Prevot is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 222 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 2.
It's back home for Sochaux, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Quevilly Rouen away with the result 2-0. Ambri and Mauricio found the net in that victory. Midfield player Ambri got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Ambri scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Ahead of that match, Sochaux won a home game hosting Rodez (2-0).The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sochaux matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, one draw and zero defeats (from five games).
Sochaux has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Sochaux have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nancy form and stats
Nancy have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-4-11 (16 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Cartier, the Nancy manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Ajaccio with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Bobichon was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.35. Bobichon hit the woodwork once, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 31 successful passes (of 37 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Guingamp's place.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 Nancy playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, one draw and three home wins.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
