The proximity to the playoff zone of relegation worries Sochaux, because they are only three points that separates the team from the place mentioned and it is clear that they will not want to enter there, after all this is very harmful. Therefore, they are aware of the need to conquer points at home and even away, so they hope to evolve and surprise in this round, after all they want to return home with at least a draw. Facing an opponent who comes worse in the league may be good for them, because if they can impose themselves and show their football they can even leave the field with a win. The coach will not be able to count on Victor Glaentzlin for being in the medical department.
