Annecy – Sochaux

Annecy host Sochaux in what promises to be a tightly contested clash in the middle of the table. The home side sit fourth with ten points from six games, boasting three wins, a draw and two defeats while edging their rivals with a slender 8‑7 goal difference. Sochaux, currently sixth, have collected nine points, their record of two victories, three draws and a single loss leaving them just one point shy and with a negative goal balance of 3‑4. Both clubs will be keen to close the gap to the leaders, and the narrow margin in points suggests a battle that could easily swing either way. A win for either side would also tighten the race for the top‑four spots as the season progresses.
