Renard will rely on the return of key players Stoppila Sunzu, Nathan Sinkala, and Emmanuel Mayuka from international duty with Zambia, as well as the reinstatement of Razak Boukari. Unfortunately, they will be without the services of Jordan Ayew due to suspension.

Nevertheless, they are determined to overcome Lorient and continue their fight for survival. Here is the complete Sochaux squad for the upcoming match:
Goalkeepers: Pelé, Cros Defenders: Faussurier, Carlão, Zouma, Marange, Corchia, Kanté, Sunzu Midfielders: Contout, Malsa, Doubaï, Prcic, Ilaimaharitra, Sinkala, Boukari Forwards: Bakambu, Butin, Mayuka, Frau
