Sochaux's strength last season is still quite good, the goal of this season is relegation, sold Diarra, De Tieu, Dionne, etc., the introduction of Fosse Roule, Cissokho, Pereira, Yetabare, etc., the strength of the change is not big. The new season achieved 10 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, ranked 3rd, the performance is noteworthy, but more wins and losses lack of stability, may play in the middle and lower reaches of the team is okay, but the middle and upper reaches of this instability will be highlighted, a total of 30 goals scored, lost 19 goals, strong attack, the defensive end is okay. In the last game, the team went on the road to face St. Etienne, and finally beat the opponent 3-2, back to the winning track, ending three rounds without a win, injuries, there are not too many problems. This time, they return home to face Valenciennes, naturally want to get consecutive wins and bite the difference.
The strength of Valenciennes is still good this season, and the performance is also worthy of recognition, the current record of 6 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, ranked 12th, with the depth of the season, there is a certain decline, a total of 18 goals scored, conceded 19 goals, the attack is weak, more rely on the defense to eat points, more or less passive. In the transfer market, Otara, Sessi and Niederma were sold and Mateo, Aron and Penin were brought in, which is still a good result. In the last game, the team hosted, and finally drew 1-1, 6 games without a win in all competitions, low morale. In terms of injuries, there are not too many problems. I'm afraid this game will be a tough one against Sochaux.
