Head-to-head statistics Red Star - Sochaux
Red Star Team Overview
Red Star finished last season fourth with 58 points and 45 goals in 34 rounds. In the playoff matches they didn't get past the first round: at home in a single leg against Rodez they led twice but lost (2:3). The manager changed in the summer: GrΓ©gory Poirier didn't extend his contract, and Damien Perrinelle is starting his first season as head coach - he previously worked as an assistant at Monaco. The win in Nantes for the new manager was secured by Kevin Cabral - the same player who opened the scoring in the match against Rodez. At home Red Star have been solid: unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 Ligue 2 matches.
Match Results: Red Star
Sochaux Team Overview
Sochaux were last in Ligue 2 in 2023, and they lost their place not on the pitch: the Chinese owner failed to cover a β¬22 million deficit, after which the club were sent down to the National. It took Sochaux three seasons to work their way back, and they returned as runners-up, seven points behind champions Dijon. Vincent Hognon took charge in May 2025 and won promotion in his very first season - he had already guided Metz to Ligue 1 back in 2019. The squad changed little over the summer, and the objective has been stated plainly: stay in the division. Away from home, Sochaux are solid - they have gone unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 matches, though that run was built a division lower.

Editor's Pick
The home side's habit supports a goal: Red Star have scored in seven consecutive Ligue 2 matches. The visitors' weakness helps too - Sochaux have conceded in the second half in 7 of their last 8 away matches. In favour of a goal for the visitors is Red Star's own pattern: clean sheets are rare for them, as they have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 matches. Sochaux are no strangers to goals either: their last five matches have all featured at least two goals. We expect an open game with goals at both ends. The bet is both teams to score. Predicted score - 1:1.
