Sochaux and Reims meet at Stade Auguste Bonal, Montbeliard on Friday, Jan 29 at 8:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Ligue 2. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.

Sochaux come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Reims, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Sochaux face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Reims have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sochaux won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

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