APWin Prediction

2nd Half Over 0.5 Goals

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Sochaux win or draw

Even though Sochaux will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Sochaux to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Sochaux does have its share of flaws, but Pau has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Sochaux.

👉 Our prediction is: Pau to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, Pau is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against Sochaux, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping Pau to win the first half in the half-time market.
