Match analysis
Sochaux have conceded a single goal across their last five matches and remain unbeaten in that run, which is why Superior's projection for their trip to Laval on 18 September stops at a 1-1 draw, with a tighter 0-1 Sochaux win as the alternate. Laval's own scoring rate of 1.2 goals a game has not been enough to move the model off that defensive read.
Sochaux have conceded once in five matches
That single goal against came in a 1-1 draw, with clean sheets either side of it, giving Sochaux the tightest defensive record of any side in this batch. Laval have scored 1.2 goals a game at home this season, but they have also shipped ten goals in their own last five, including back-to-back defeats by an aggregate 3-5. Superior's own alternate score, 0-1, backs that defensive gap to matter more than home advantage.
Three defeats in five leave Laval short of proof
Sochaux's own attack has scored only three goals in five games, so a repeat of Laval's 2-1 home win from three weeks ago is enough to beat the 1-1 draw Superior projects here. Laval have not won back-to-back matches in this run, which is the specific inconsistency that keeps their home scoring rate from being a safe assumption against a Sochaux side that simply does not concede.
