Sochaux-Montbéliard, Recent FormLast time out, Sochaux-Montbéliard went away feeling content with a 3-2 away win against Saint-Étienne
It seems pretty certain that Olivier Guégan will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Guégan will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Stade Auguste-Bonal, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
On an individual basis, Ibrahim Sissoko will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Stade Auguste-Bonal having scored 5 goals in Sochaux-Montbéliard's last 6 home games in the league.
Valenciennes, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Metz will be viewed as a positive outcome for Valenciennes and a valuable point into the bargain.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 10 this season, Nicolas Rabuel will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
A win for Valenciennes is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Valenciennes that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Sochaux and their rivals, Les Athéniens, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Sochaux have lost the last 2 times they've faced VAFC in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Sochaux manager Olivier Guégan will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the VAFC manager Nicolas Rabuel ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Rabuel a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
