We said: Auxerre 2-1 Sochaux

Spirits are high among both camps heading into Friday's contest, but Auxerre will be regarded as the favourites, when considering their league position, form and the fact that they have home advantage. Sochaux will fancy their chances of breaching Auxerre's backline, having scored eight goals in their last six meetings against them, but we can see the hosts securing a slender victory to put them through to the relegation/promotion playoff final.
