In this week 17 match on Dec 30th, Sochaux will travel to Bordeaux to battle Bordeaux in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 3rd placed Bordeaux is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Le Havre. Amir Richardson struck first for Le Havre in the 9th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Bordeaux couldn’t manage to score, and Le Havre took the shutout win. Bordeaux should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while 2nd placed Sochaux is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Rodez. Aldo Kalulu scored the first goal for Sochaux in the 73rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Rodez was frustrated by Sochaux’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sochaux ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Sochaux should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Both Tony Mauricio and Samuel Teixeira Do Couto Teixeira Maxime Joze have been the hottest scorers for Sochaux in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each. Bordeaux is glad to have Yoann Barbet in top form. In the last 5 matches the defender has scored four goals.
