Sochaux in run for promotion playoff, Caen to avoid relegation.
Guests have only four draws in nine matches and in first leg trashed 4-1 by Sochaux on their field.
Regular keeper Riou is suspended, young Pean, usual starter among second half of February and start of March, played eight rounds gaining only two clean sheets. Guests have also unavailable Beka Beka ( def. 17+6) while Lepennant ( midf.10+7), Amougom ( def.20+4), topscorer Bammou ( 6g) and Gonjcalves ( midf.12+12) remain all out.
Hosts are in downtrend, only two draws in last four, and not so efficient at home, but Caen is the fouyrth worst away team ( 3-5-9 17/26).
More, key midf. Lopi ( 29) returns available leaving the team without important misses.
Hosts are the favourite for a reprise here, as for results obtained in the season, as for the important misses at the back for Caen - five of last nine ended with more then one goal suffered by guests and all nine without clean sheets - that seems not able to find the key to avoid relegation danger with only one win in 2021.
