Sochaux haven't won any of their recent matches, with a couple of draws and a few losses, so they're going through a rough patch and will be hoping home advantage helps them turn things around. Laval are in a similar spot - they've lost a few and drawn a few, though they did manage one win, so both teams come into this one looking a little shaky rather than in great form.

When these two have met recently, the games haven't been high-scoring, with a draw and a narrow result in the mix. Given how close the two sides look and how neither is playing with much confidence right now, this one has the feel of a tight, even contest. It's a hard one to call, and a draw seems like the most likely outcome.
