Sochaux – Rodez

Sochaux host Rode Rovers in what promises to be a tight contest, with the home side perched in sixth place on nine points after two wins, three draws and a single loss, and a modest 3‑4 goal difference. Rodez arrive in the 11th spot, having collected seven points from two victories, one draw and three defeats, while conceding slightly more than they score at 12‑11. The two teams have exchanged points in recent meetings, and the narrow margin between their positions suggests a battle for every point will be decisive. Sochaux will look to exploit their slightly better defensive record, whereas Rodez will need to sharpen their attack if they hope to climb out of the lower mid‑table.
