Match Analysis
Sochaux host Guingamp at Stade Auguste-Bonal in Ligue 2, Regular Season - 27. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 5 March 2022 at 18:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Sochaux stand at 4W 4D 2L from 10 Ligue 2 matches — 1.60 PPG. Last five: D D W L L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Sochaux, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Sochaux's form when playing at home: 4W 4D 2L across 10 games at Stade Auguste-Bonal this term (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game.
Across all Ligue 2 games this season, Guingamp have recorded 4W 4D 2L from 10 outings — 1.60 PPG. Last five: L D W D W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Guingamp, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Ligue 2 this season, Guingamp have posted 2W 3D 5L from 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Sochaux 1.60 PPG, Guingamp 1.60 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 1 previous meetings, Sochaux have won 1, Guingamp 0, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 1 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 3.0 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 21 Sep 2021, ended 2–1 with Sochaux winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Sochaux in-play and half-time data (26 games, 13 at home): they score before half-time in 62% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 69% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 15% of games (home games); they fail to score in 31% of games.
Guingamp in-play and half-time data (26 games, 13 at away): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Sochaux 46% versus Guingamp 58%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Sochaux 35% | Guingamp 42%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Sochaux 1.12 xG and Guingamp 0.86 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Sochaux attack 0.910 / defence 1.204 | Guingamp attack 0.768 / defence 1.218. League average goals — home 1.012 / away 0.934. Guingamp bring a strong defensive rating of 1.218 — this is suppressing Sochaux's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 26 Sochaux games / 26 Guingamp games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Sochaux 41% | Draw 31% | Guingamp 28%. Fair-value odds: Sochaux 2.44 | Draw 3.23 | Guingamp 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 39% | Total xG 1.99. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.99 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 39% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Sochaux at 41% — marginal model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Sochaux offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 1.99 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 32% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 39% on No. Form rates corroborate: Sochaux 50% | Guingamp 40% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Sochaux beat Guingamp 1-0 at Stade Auguste-Bonal, Regular Season - 27, in the Ligue 2. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Sochaux 1.12 xG and Guingamp 0.86 xG, a combined 1.99. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Guingamp landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sochaux attack 0.91 / defence 1.20 against Guingamp attack 0.77 / defence 1.22, drawn from 26/26 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Sochaux 41% | Draw 31% | Guingamp 28%, with Sochaux to win its most likely call at 41%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 59% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sochaux 35%, Guingamp 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Sochaux's trading profile (26 games, 13 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.
Guingamp's trading profile (26 games, 13 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Sochaux 1.69 PPG, Guingamp 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sochaux win broke the near-deadlock.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The numbers read this fixture well — the outcome largely followed the script the data laid out beforehand.
