Sochaux will face Bastia at Stade Auguste Bonal in this Ligue 2 match on Saturday.
Sochaux will be hoping to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat by FC Annecy in Ligue 1 last time out. Ibrahim Sissoko (7′) was the only player to score for Socho. Ensi FC scored through Ibrahima Balde (71′) and Kevin Muanga (81′). Sophos have struggled to keep clean sheets recently, but have also found a way to score goals of their own. The analysis of the previous 6 matches showed that Sochaux scored in 5 of these matches and was also featured on the score sheet in 5 of these matches.

Sochaux vs Bastia Prediction
We think SC Bastia can find the back of the net against this Sochaux side, but it may not be enough to avoid defeat.
