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 9th position while the guests worry at 19th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Sochaux form and stats
Sochaux have collected 18 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 5-3-2.
In their previous game, the manager O. Daf led his Sochaux to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Orléans. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Bonal. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Grenoble Foot 38 that ended 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 five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Sochaux are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 10 games. As for guarding their own goal, Sochaux have only let in 5 goals at home.
Paris form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Paris so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Paris losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Paris are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
F. Saad was the last player to score for the away team. Paris haven't scored a league goal in the last 384 minutes.
Paris play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Fabregues. A loss against Le Mans was the result prior to that, in a Ligue 2 home game.
Paris are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. From a total of seven matches.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Paris's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 10 matches. Paris have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Paris - Sochaux 1-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: 3 - 4 - 2 (Sochaux wins - draws - Paris wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 7 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
