Paris FC vs Sochaux
French Ligue 1
Play-offs Semi Final
7:30 pm UK
Tuesday 17th May 2022.
Stade Sebastien-Charlety
Predictions
Both these teams have performed equally well in the French 2nd division to earn a shot at promotion. However, Sochaux in particular have had problems away from home, losing three of their last seven away games. This fixture at a neutral venue would be no different and they are likely to struggle. Therefore, I have backed Paris to just about edge this.
A match of this importance and pressure is unlikely to witness a clean sheet or a low scoring contest. Hence, expect at least two goals in this fixture.

Paris FC vs Sochaux: Pre match press conference
Sochaux manager, Omar Daf: “We prepared for this eventuality with the staff, even if we hoped for a direct climb. You have to play as you like to do, but be careful. You have to play like against Dijon but with the spirit of the cut. In the return match at Charléty, we were perhaps too naive. We haven’t struggled all season to just ‘participate’ in this game! We take game by game, but everything is possible and we want to win four times to go up and don’t want to be on vacation.”
Paris FC manager, Thierry Laurey: “It is up to us to bring the public. If we manage to do things well, the public will be present. It’s more complicated in Paris but we hope that people will come. It was really a crazy season . With 74 points, Auxerre does not rise directly. With 70 points, we finish 4th! It’s quite incredible . We won in Amiens and tonight. We gain confidence little by little. It will be complicated against Sochaux, but it’s better to have won.”
