Sochaux will host Ligue 1 giants Lens in the Coupe de France last 32, having defeated Bethune in the previous round. As the visitors are brimming with confidence following their excellent run in the French top flight, we predict a 2-1 away win. The National side have been in excellent form lately, winning 60% of their games, averaging 2.1 goals per match, and conceding only 0.7, while keeping clean sheets in 50% of games. Their strong home form, with 1.33 goals scored per game and only 0.33 conceded, will be crucial as they attempt to frustrate a much stronger opponent.
Lens head into Saturday's game as Ligue 1 title contenders, boasting a staggering 90% win rate, scoring 2.2 goals per game and conceding just 0.7. While boss Pierre Sage may rotate the squad to manage league priorities, key players Fofana, Guilavogui, and Sotoca are pushing for starts after coming off the bench in a 3-0 win over Toulouse. Lens’ attacking firepower and defensive solidity make them heavy favorites, but Sochaux’s home advantage and recent form could see them provide resistance.
Even though Pierre Sage is expected to mix the squad, Lens are still seen as hot favourites to advance to the French Cup last 16. Therefore, we predict Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Lens Over 1.5.
This Coupe de France match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 20:00.
