Game: LYON vs SOCHAUX
Type: FRANCE LIGUE 1
Date: 22 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Alarm bells are ringing as defending champions Lyon's lead in the league have evaporated after last night's results left them in 3rd place when their rivals all won. Lyon have lost their last 4 on the trot in all competitions, and knows how significant a win is required tonight if they want to regain the top position.
Sochaux will be looking to inflict further wound to the host as they themselves are caught in the relegation quagmire. Away from home, they have surprisingly scored in all league matches, averaging 1.07 goals per match. Sochaux have also yet to draw in their last 10 matches, and will probably be happy if they could snatch a point against Lyon.
KWIK STATS
HOME > LYON

THE PICK
Its crunch time now as the league heads its final stretch. With so much at stake and little to separate the top 4, LYON will want to ensure that they maintain a healthy lead from their closest rivals. Go with the home team to stamp their authority in this match.
