Sochaux – Valenciennes : Preview & Prediction
After a friendly campaign of success with 5 successes against only 1 setback, FC Sochaux made a false start for this first day of Ligue 2 last weekend. Indeed, the Lionceaux lost 1 goal to 0 at the promoted Grenoble! A first loss recorded in the last quarter of an hour on a penalty converted by Cherguy. The Doubistes also have to be forgiven from their fans of a complicated end of last season with 2 defeats at home during their last 2 receptions against Lorient (0-2) and Clermont (1-3). Conversely, Valenciennes started off with a big success in front of AJ Auxerre (3-1) at the Stade du Hainaut. Northern striker Robail was the man of the match with a double and a assist for Dos Santos. Valenciennes will try to continue in the lineage of his last away games in L2 where VA had scored 2 wins in Lorient (1-0) and Gazélec Ajaccio (4-3) and 1 draw in Quevilly (2- 2).
The last victory of VA in Sochaux dates back to September 19, 2009!
Sochaux has not lost to Valenciennes at the Auguste-Bonal stadium since 8 games (4 wins and 4 draws).
Sochaux must restart the home machine and muzzle Robail to glean his first points.
Valenciennes recorded last weekend its first win in its last 5 outings.
Sochaux still beat Servette, Nancy, Strasbourg and Dijon in their friendly matches.
FC Sochaux, claiming to climb, must imperatively catch up after his misstep in Grenoble to place in contact with the first places.
