Sochaux are one of the founders of the French first division, a Peugeot family club with two league titles and a Coupe de France.

Sochaux are now managed by Vincent Hognon, and in the second round his team picked up their first point of the season - a goalless draw away at Red Star. At home, Sochaux have a long unbeaten run, 10 of their last 11 matches, but it was built in the third division.

Editor's Pick
Guingamp have not been scoring much in this matchup for a long time: they scored more than once in only one of the last nine head-to-head meetings. Recent form tells the same story: in 9 of their last 10 Ligue 2 matches, the Bretons managed just one goal. After the heavy home defeat to Saint-Étienne, Sochaux will surely sit deeper, leaving even less space for the visitors. So we are not expecting more than one goal from Guingamp. The bet is Guingamp individual total under 1.5. Predicted score - 1:1.
