Sochaux are having a rough spell and haven't won any of their recent matches, with a couple of losses and several draws. Rodez have been up and down, mixing wins with losses, so neither team comes into this in great form. When these two have met in the past, the games have usually been tight and low-scoring, with most ending by a single goal or finishing level.

Overall this looks like a close, cautious match between two teams that aren't playing at their best. With home advantage and Rodez's inconsistency, a draw seems the most likely outcome.
