NextGOAL tip: Sochaux +1 · 2 stars
Reims and Sochaux have met many times, and the home side has usually been the one to take the win more often. But this time the game isn't decided by reputation alone. Sochaux are in a period where they need to steady their defence after losing in recent matches, while Reims themselves are still unbeaten in the league but have drawn so many that the points aren't moving anywhere. Reims are still unbeaten in the league, but they've won only 4 of 10 matches, with the rest all draws. The attack has something about it, but they struggle to close games out. Sochaux, meanwhile, have scored only 8 goals in 10 matches this season and have just lost back-to-back games. Their defence is starting to show clear cracks. If Reims can press from the start as expected, Sochaux will likely have to sit deep and wait for counter-attacking chances. The first half may not open up much, but the second half should open up as both sides need to push the pace.
