Sochaux @ 2.05 vs Lens (@ 4.50)??? Seems like the bookies never watched a game between these two. No matter where, when or what respective forms these two are on, Lens always gets the better of Sochaux, and that’s well documented history.
Let’s have a look:
| 11-Nov-08 | Sochaux | Lens | 0-1 |
| 19-Apr-08 | Lens | Sochaux | 3-2 |
| 01-Dec-07 | Sochaux | Lens | 0-2 |
| 11-Feb-07 | Lens | Sochaux | 3-1 |
| 17-Sep-06 | Sochaux | Lens | 0-3 |
| 25-Mar-06 | Lens | Sochaux | 2-1 |
| 06-Nov-05 | Sochaux | Lens | 1-1 |
| 23-Apr-05 | Lens | Sochaux | 3-2 |
| 28-Nov-04 | Sochaux | Lens | 1-2 |
| 08-May-04 | Sochaux | Lens | 0-3 |
As far as latest form goes I admit Sochaux are on a much better run overall, but they have just lost at home by 1-4 to PSG last weekend to end a 3 games winning streak that included two 1-0 home wins over Le Mans & Lorient, and a 2-0 away win over Lyon.
Lens on the other hand ended a 4 games losing streak and without scoring in either of them) when they drew 1-1 at home to Lorient. They remain way too vulnerable on the road though and struggle to find the net still.
I always say anything can happen on a football pitch, but to be honest I would have probably backed Lens on this one @ 2.50 based on the H2H stats, and also because Sochaux’ victories were put to a halt last weekend, while Lens have finally found the goal just in time for this very fixture they are well used to getting 3 points from.
Pick:
Lens win @ 4.50 w/ Bet365 or Stan James
