Sochaux v US Boulogne Côte-d'Opale
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Passing on Sochaux v US Boulogne Côte-d'Opale. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Sochaux are 8th in the table, but their luck is about to run out against a Boulogne side that is better than the standings suggest. Vincent Hognon has watched his team allow far better opportunities than they manage themselves in six of their last seven, relying on a goalkeeper who has limited the damage to 5 goals when they deserved to concede 11. By contrast, the visitors have netted only 3 times in their last seven when their play should have produced 7. Boulogne will use a 5-3-2 system to stifle a Sochaux attack that struggles to build play. Though the hosts are a different side at home, they cannot keep surviving on good fortune alone. Clinical finishing from the away strikers decides it.
