Rodez – Sochaux

Rodez host Sochaux in a clash that pits the league’s 11th‑placed side, with seven points from two wins, one draw and three defeats and a narrow 11‑12 goal difference, against the seventh‑placed Sochforders, who sit on nine points after two victories, three stalemates and a single loss, boasting a modest 3‑4 scoring margin. The hosts will look to overturn their three‑game losing streak and improve a goal deficit that has seen them concede more than they score, while Sochaux hope to extend their modest unbeaten run and climb further up the table. Historically, the two clubs have exchanged a handful of points this season, and the encounter offers Rodez a chance to close the gap on the mid‑table while Sochaux aim to consolidate their push for a top‑four finish. Both teams enter the match with contrasting form, setting the stage for a tightly contested showdown at the Stade Paul-Lignon.
