On the 1st of October, in this week 10 match, Valenciennes and Sochaux will play a match in Valenciennes in a clash of the Ligue 2. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 7th placed Valenciennes, recorded a 0-1 loss against Pau. Mons Bassouamina struck first for Pau in the 72nd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Valenciennes was frustrated by Pau’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Pau ended the match with the shutout victory. Valenciennes is looking for direction having 3 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while sochaux sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Nîmes. N’guessan Jean Frederic Kouadio struck first for Nîmes in the 4th minute on a feed from Jens Thomasen, then in the 22nd minute, Ibrahim Sissoko sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Tony Mauricio But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 34th minute on a goal by Ibrahim Sissoko. Sochaux should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Valenciennes won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Sochaux is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Moussa Doumbia and Ibrahim Sissoko each having 3 goals in their last five. Valenciennes’s most prolific scorer has been Marius Noubissi. The Cameroonian attacker has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches.
