Rouen vs Sochaux Prediction & Betting Tips (4 March)

Sochaux have not made the start that they would have been hoping for after finally ending their long absence from the National, failing to pick up a win or score a goal in their first three matches. Given that Rouen have triumphed nine times in their previous 14 home games at this level, they will fancy their chances of winning this local derby.

Having been involved in 20 top-flight fixtures out of 20 recently in which under 3.5 goals have been scored, it would be fair to say that Rouen have proven pretty consistent in this area. Although Sochaux cannot compete with these numbers, it remains the case that 14 of their last 17 away matches in the National have also delivered no more than three successful strikes.

If nothing else, Rouen are the great entertainers on their own patch, both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 14 of their last 17 league fixtures. This is definitely something that Sochaux can relate to, as 17 of their previous 20 away matches in the National have also delivered goals at both ends, so expect an entertaining encounter.
