Sochaux 1-0 Guingamp result, stats and report

Reims dominated the chances but paid the price for wasting four big opportunities, as Yaya Fofana turned the game on its head with two goals in two second-half minutes before substitute Brandon Bokangu grabbed a point for the hosts in the 88th minute.

Sochaux took the lead through Lorenzo Rajot and dominated every meaningful statistic, but a red card for Pau did not cost them the point they ultimately salvaged in a frustrating Ligue 2 draw.

Sochaux held on for a narrow but tactically revealing home win over Guingamp, scoring early and defending with discipline to keep a clean sheet despite being comprehensively outplayed in possession terms for long stretches of the match.

Guingamp have quietly built something solid at home in Ligue 2 this season, but Red Star travel to Brittany having won three of their last five away fixtures and carrying the confidence of a side that knows how to take points on the road.

Laval carry a perfect home record into this Friday night Ligue 2 fixture, but Sochaux arrive with a defensive away pattern that could make this a tighter contest than the standings suggest.

Guingamp host an Annecy side that has won three of their last four away fixtures, making this a genuine examination of what the home side can build at the Roudourou. The patterns in the data tell a clear story, and it is not a comfortable one for Guingamp.

Reims have drawn four of their last five home games and still can't find a winning groove on their own patch. Guingamp roll into town having lost every single away match this season. Something has to give.
