Gaëtan Weissbeck (14') and Adama Niane (76') scored for Sochaux.

Under three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Valenciennes FC have been participants. With regard to the goal split during this period, opposing sides scored an aggregate of 7 while Les Athéniens managed a tally of 8.

ESTAC

ESTAC head into the meeting following a 2-1 Ligue 2 win to defeat Rodez in their most recent match.

For ESTAC, the goals were scored by Yoann Touzghar (2') and Lenny Pintor (46'). Malaly Dembélé (74') scored for Rodez.

The stats tell the story, and ESTAC have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals overall. Defensively, Troyes certainly have room for improvement. Such a trend might not follow through here, of course.

Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Valenciennes FC manager Olivier Guégan to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Malek Chergui (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is out of contention.

📰 Team News: ESTAC

Thanks to a mainly available group, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the ESTAC boss Laurent Battles to be concerned with. Hyun-jun Suk (Calf Injury) won’t be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

Here is a game where Valenciennes FC could find themselves struggling to hit the back of the net against this ESTAC outfit who we think might end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for ESTAC at the end of the 90.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
