Sochaux have had a rough run lately - they've lost a couple of games and drawn most of the others, without a win in their recent matches. Montpellier are struggling even more, with only draws and losses in their recent games, so both teams come into this one short on confidence.

These two sides have not met recently, so there's no history of high-scoring games to point to. Both teams have been finding goals hard to come by, and their form suggests a tight, cautious match. Given Montpellier's worse run of results, Sochaux look the slightly stronger side, but this looks like a close game that could well finish as a draw.
