French eyes will all be turned to Sochaux this evening

"Sochaux's first eight home games of the current Ligue 2 season have produced no fewer than 33 goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.021/1 in Sochaux v Valenciennes

Nowhere in France has seen more goals this season than the Stade Auguste Bonal, and Tobias Gourlay fancies there are a few more on the way this evening

Sochaux v Valenciennes
Tuesday 20:00

A pre-Christmas cracker in Poland last night, as Nieciecza drew 3-3 with Wisla Krakow. Our Over 2.5 Goals bet was paid out in 22 minutes.

The extra 68 minutes we put to good use, of course, and came up with this for you today. Sochaux's first eight home games of the current Ligue 2 season have produced no fewer than 33 goals, with 6/8 delivering Over 2.5 Goals individually.

Peter Zeidler's hosts have conceded 19 at Stade Auguste Bonal - more than any other Ligue 2 team on home soil - but start as favourites against Valenciennes this evening.

Reginald Ray only arrived at Valenciennes seven games ago. The Athenians have won 2/3 on the road, but even more excitingly those three matches have produced a total of 16 goals. In fact, their last five away from home have all gone Over 2.5 Goals and we're pleasantly surprised to get even-money about this one going the same way.
