Sochaux vs Niort prediction (1x2)

Sochaux – Niort   Once again Sochaux proved to be a limited team without to many solution in the offensive and huge problems in defense. Playing away at against a depleted Metz they lost 0-1 even they played 11-10 for entire second half. Was strange cause playing 11-11 they were much better than Metz, dominated a lot but without putting in real danger Metz goalkeeper. Was a first half without any real chance to score. In second half, with Metz playing in 10, Sochaux made the step back letting Metz to attack, sleeping for most of the time. Cartier, Sochaux coach, declared his team made a scandalous 2nd half, being unable to understood what his players done. Anyway Metz scored the single goal of the game thanks to a nice phase in 3 and missed another 2-3 clear chances the goal, Camara – Sochaux GK being the man with kept the score at only 0-1.   Onguene will be suspended   Niort made their best game this season when hosting Dijon in last round. Despite finishing 2-2 they were the better team, the team who controlled the game. Something seems to be changed in Brouard’s squad games, meaning they create less chances but score more goals in last few games. Is not so easy to dominate a team as Dijon, to presed them a lot and to put a lot of problems. If Niort will continue in this way for sure will not be involved in relegation battle. They have a single defeat in last 13 games in all competitions, but due to too much draws in this period they are still near to the relegation spots. On the road only 2 defeats so far proving a difficult team to beat.   Anyway no matter result of Sochaux from the game against Metz my favorite for this game is Niort. Only 4 days for rest for Sochaux, a bad morale and an in form team makes me to believe Niort will snatch another 3 points on the road. Gl
