Sochaux vs Villefranche Prediction & Betting Tips (22 November)

Sochaux must win to stand any chance of progressing from this tie, and this is something that Sochaux have managed in six of their previous eight home games in the National. Villefranche, by way of contrast, have suffered three defeats in four away matches at this level recently, whilst they have triumphed only once in six attempts on the road of late.

None of the last nine Sochaux home games in the National have produced more than a couple of goals, with the net bulging a grand total of ten times across these contests. Not only that, but each of the previous five Villefranche matches at this level has followed the same pattern, so it would come as a surprise to see three goals or more.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Sochaux home fixtures at the top table of the National, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six National games overall. As for Villefranche, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
