MONTBELIARD, France (Interstat) — FC Sochaux-Montbeliard U19 hosts Le Puy Foot on Friday in a National 1 matchup, with both teams looking to build momentum late in the season.

Sochaux-Montbeliard enters the match coming off a dominant 7-0 victory over Saint-Priest U19 on May 3, its most lopsided win of the campaign. The result snapped a stretch of inconsistent play for the U19 side, which had lost three of its previous four matches, including a 3-2 defeat to Troyes U19 on April 12 and a 1-0 loss to Auxerre U19 on March 22. Prior to the Saint-Priest rout, Sochaux-Montbeliard had recorded a 2-1 win at Dijon U19 on April 19.

Le Puy Foot, meanwhile, arrives in Montbeliard following a 2-1 loss at home to Dijon on May 9. The defeat marked Le Puy’s fourth loss in its last six matches across all competitions. The visitors have struggled on the road, with a 4-0 defeat at Fleury 91 on May 1 and a scoreless draw at Rouen on April 17. Le Puy’s last away victory came April 3, a 3-0 win at Concarneau.

Despite the recent struggles, Le Puy has shown the ability to secure results in tight matches. The team played to a 2-2 draw at FC Versailles 78 on April 24 and earned a 1-0 win at Caen on March 13.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw between the two sides.

Friday’s match is scheduled to kick off at an undetermined time at Stade Auguste Bonal in Montbeliard.
