Sochaux – RED Star FC 93

Sochaux, sitting seventh with nine points from two wins, three draws and a loss and a modest 3‑4 goal difference, will host fourth‑placed RED Star FC 93, who sit on eleven points after three victories, two stalemates and a single defeat, sharing a 6‑6 tally. The hosts will be looking to tighten a leaky defence that has conceded four, while RED Star will hope their balanced attack, which has produced six goals, can break the deadlock. With the gap between the two sides only two points, the encounter could prove pivotal in the race for the top‑four, especially as the clubs have yet to meet this season. Both teams will be eager to turn their recent mixed form into a decisive result on Sochaux’s turf.
