Sochaux – Nantes

Sochaux eked out a narrow 1‑0 victory over Nantes at home, a result that lifted them to seventh place with nine points from six games – two wins, three draws and a single loss, and a modest +1 goal difference. The win also widened the gap to the relegation‑battling side from 13 points to 14, leaving Nantes stuck in 17th place with just four points, having managed only one win and one draw while conceding twelve times. The two‑team clash this season now tips in Sochaux’s favour, as they have the sole head‑to‑head win. With the points spread tightening around the mid‑table, Sochaux will be eager to build on this momentum, while Nantes must regroup quickly to avoid slipping further down the table.
