Reims vs Sochaux prediction, odds and how to watch

Reims dominated possession and territory but could not find a winner against a Montpellier side who equalised through Yaya Fofana and then had a man sent off. A point each, and Reims will feel they left two on the table.

Sochaux grabbed a 79th-minute header through Samy Baghdadi only for Laval's Sam Sanna to equalise four minutes later, leaving both sides with a point from a feisty, card-heavy Friday night in Ligue 2.

Sochaux ground out a 1-0 win over Nantes in Ligue 2, with Benjamin Gomel scoring the only goal eight minutes after being booked. Nantes had more of the ball and more chances but lacked the cutting edge when it mattered.

Reims took all three points at Nancy on Friday night, scoring twice in the first half through Yaya Fofana and Chamsedin Kouranfal before holding on as Nancy threw everything at them. Nancy had 19 shots and dominated possession but a chronic lack of cutting edge cost them.

Clermont hit the woodwork twice and Sochaux had a man booked before half-time as a tepid Ligue 2 contest at Clermont ended goalless, with neither side able to find the cutting edge when it mattered.

Metz have drawn three of their last five Ligue 2 matches and look short of a cutting edge. Sochaux arrive unbeaten in five and keeping clean sheets for fun.

Reims have not lost in their last ten Ligue 2 matches and carry genuine momentum into Friday night. Dijon arrive having won just once in their last five, and the gap in form could not be much clearer.

Nantes have shipped 11 goals in five Ligue 2 matches and cannot afford another soft performance at home. Reims arrive unbeaten and will fancy this.
