📏 Form Guide

ESTAC

DWWLWD

ESTAC head into this fixture after a 0-0 Ligue 2 drawn game against USL Dunkerque.

An interesting theme in more recent ESTAC games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser.

Coming into this meeting, ESTAC are undefeated in their last 12 league matches at home. It's been impressive.

Sochaux

DDDWWD 📈

In their last fixture, Sochaux drew 0-0 in the Ligue 2 tie with Clermont Foot.

In 5 of the past 6 games featuring Sochaux, a relatively low number of goals have been struck between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game within that spell is a paltry 1.67, with the average goals for Les Lionceaux standing at 1.17. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Sochaux:

• are undefeated by ESTAC when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 away league matches.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings dating back to 29/07/2016 tells us that ESTAC have won 2 of these and Sochaux 3, with the number of drawn results being 1.

The referee was Mikael Lesage.

ℹ️ Team News: ESTAC

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the ESTAC boss Laurent Battles to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Stone Mambo (Unknown Injury) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: Sochaux

Owing to an otherwise healthy group, there’s just the one fitness problem for the Sochaux gaffer Omar Daf to be concerned with. Yann Kitala (Tibia Fracture) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Sochaux are certainly able to put a goal past this ESTAC lineup, however it isn’t expected to be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re going for a narrow 2-1 winning score for ESTAC when all is said and done. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
