Sochaux vs Epinal Prediction & Betting Tips (16 February)

Although their home ground can justifiably be accused of lacking atmosphere, Sochaux have not let that detract from recent performances, with the former champions enjoying four wins on the spin in front of their own supporters in the National. As for Epinal, they clearly do not travel well, suffering nine defeats in 18 top-flight trips and winning only once along the way.

Entertainment has certainly not been lacking in recent Sochaux matches in the National, as 12 of their previous 13 games have delivered two goals or more. Given that this has also been the case in a staggering 18 of the last 20 Epinal away fixtures at the top table of the National, it would come as a bit of a shock were we not to see over 2.5 goals in this contest.

When Epinal come calling in the National, the net tends to bulge at both ends of the pitch, with this being the case in ten of the Epinal previous 12 away matches. Given that neither keeper has emerged with a clean sheet in 14 of the most recent 17 Sochaux home games in the league, it would come as a surprise were either team to draw a blank in this encounter.
