Tip and bets
It surely won't be an easy match for the Ligue 1 outfit. Sochaux is one of the main play-off spot contenders, but team lacks consistency. Nantes gained great form and rose to the Top-10 in Ligue 1. We are expecting a tight clash, but Canaries should be able to advance further due to their experience and class of their players.
Our prediction - Nantes to advance
We think that teams won't be able to score more than one or two goals, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
