Montpellier welcome Sochaux at Stade de la Mosson, Montpellier on Friday, Apr 16 at 8:00 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Montpellier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Sochaux, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Montpellier here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Sochaux, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sochaux won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Montpellier a slight edge, but Sochaux are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
