With a single point behind Evian and two behind Guingamp, Sochaux faces a critical match against Rennes this Saturday to keep their hopes alive for remaining in Ligue 1. The Lions are gearing up to secure a victory as they travel to the Route de Lorient stadium for the 37th round of Ligue 1 matches.
Rennes, already assured of maintaining their position, may not be at their best due to recent exertions, presenting Sochaux with an opportunity. Under the guidance of coach Hervé Renard, the Cubs have shown remarkable resilience and could achieve an incredible survival, considering their position earlier in the season.
For this crucial match, Renard can count on the return of Nathan Sinkala, who has completed his suspension, and Cédric Bakambu, who missed the previous match against Nice (2-0 loss).
Sochaux squad:
Goalkeepers: Pelé, Pouplin Defenders: Faussurier, Zouma, Kanté, Marange, Corchia, Sunzu, Carlão, Poujol Midfielders: Prcic, Ilaimaharitra, Boukari, Roudet, Contout, Guerbert, Doubaï, Sinkala Forwards: Mayuka, Ayew, Bakambu
