Kick-off is on Friday 17 April 2020 for Sochaux and Lens, a Ligue 2 meeting. There is little between them on Elo, so this Sochaux vs Lens prediction comes down to form.
The last five for Sochaux go D D D D L, and on that evidence they are struggling for results. Nobody has beaten them in their last four. Lens come into this blowing hot and cold (D D D D W over their last five). They are unbeaten in five.
On their own patch Sochaux are scoring 0.5 and letting in 0.3 per game. On the road Lens score 1.0 a game and concede 0.8. Don't expect a goal-fest. The two sides' scoring and conceding rates add up to 1.4 a game, so unders appeal. Lens have kept a clean sheet in 80% of their recent matches.
