Promoted Ligue 2 side Sochaux will start their competitive season at home against St. Etienne in the French second tier this Saturday. This will be the first meeting between the two in three years. Sochaux have had a good run at home, and heading here, our prediction backs them to at least avoid defeat.
Sochaux had a solid run in Ligue 3 last season, finishing second. They managed 16 wins in their 32 matches and had the best run at home, winning nine of their 16 games.
The last time they met St. Etienne, in 2022, Sochaux won 3-2 to go three unbeaten against their visitors. They won all the three matches and will be gunning for the same here.
St. Etienne had a productive season last time out but just fell short of advancing to Ligue 1. They finished third and went into the promotion playoff, where they lost to Nice.
Another similar journey starts here, and Les Verts will be looking to do a better job. The target this season is a top-two finish, but their record against Sochaux suggests it may not start on a high.
They are winless away to Sochaux, with the last two having ended in defeat. St. Etienne will hope for some inspiration from their closing preseason matches, both having ended in wins, as they scored four times in each.

Our Sochaux vs Saint Etienne Prediction
Sochaux’s journey for a second straight promotion starts at home, where they only lost once in Ligue 3 last season. They managed nine wins and six draws there, making them the best-performing home team in the league. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last three meetings with St. Etienne, winning all, which will serve as a confidence boost.
St. Etienne come here having lost all of their last five away matches, the latest two being in preseason. That stretches their winless run to seven matches, and they could struggle here. Our prediction for Sochaux v St. Etienne is: Sochaux or draw.
