Lille vs Sochaux Prediction & Betting tips
Lille, the surprising number two of the Ligue 1, takes on Monday-evening in the 1 / 32th-finals of the Coupe de France in the last match of the 1 / 32th-finals against second division Sochaux. Does Christophe Galtier’s team manage to get ahead in the Coupe de France than in the Coupe de la Ligue?
Lille:
Last season, the champion of the 2010/2011 season hardly relegated and this season the team is at a very surprising second place in the backlog of Paris Saint-Germain. After nineteen games, the team of Galtier has already collected 34 points and a goal difference of +10 (29-19) and the team seems to be safe from relegation. Despite the good results of the team from Lille in the first half of the season, the calendar year 2018 was closed in minor terms by a 2-1 home defeat against Toulouse in the final game of 2018.
The star players of this season at LOSC are wing attackers Nicolas Pépé and Jonathan Bamba. In the nineteen league games of this season, the talented Ivoriaan and Frenchman together accounted for no less than twenty goals, six assists and seven penalties obtained. Of all players in the Ligue 1, the Ivoriaan Pépé is even involved in most goals, seventeen in total, or 59% of all goals of his team. An unprecedented number for the player who scored five goals last season.
Sochaux:
Sochaux has a moderate season in the Ligue 2 with only twenty points from nineteen matches and a goal difference of -10 (15-25). The last game before the winter break was won with a bit of luck against subtobber Lorient, in the seven league matches only four points were collected. The team that ended last season in a tenth place in the left row of the LIgue 2 is missing both offensive impact and defensive security this season.
The performance of Sochaux this season is a textbook example of the fact that good performances in the preparation say little about the further course of the season. In the preparations for this season, Omar Daf’s team won, amongst others, RC Strasbourg, Dijon and second division AS Nancy, but in the games for the marchers, a 2-0 victory victory was held at Stade Brestois, after a cup was lowered a few days earlier. suffered the same Stade Brestois, the best result.
