Preview: Jura Dolois Football vs. FC Sochaux-Montbeliard

DOLE, France (Interstat) — A key regional matchup in France’s National 3 league headlines Saturday’s football slate as Jura Dolois Football hosts FC Sochaux-Montbeliard.

The match, set for April 11, 2026, is a rematch of a December encounter won by the hosts. Jura Dolois earned a 2-1 away victory over Sochaux on Dec. 6, 2025, which will provide a psychological edge.

Current form, however, presents a contrasting picture. Sochaux enters the fixture unbeaten in its last four matches (2-2-0), including a 2-2 draw with Fleury 91 in its most recent outing on April 10. Their attack has been potent, scoring three or more goals in three of their last ten contests. Key results include a 3-2 win over Besancon Football and a 4-1 rout of Aubagne in March.

Jura Dolois, meanwhile, looks to rebound from a heavy 3-0 defeat away to Troyes on March 28. Their form has been inconsistent, with three wins, one draw and three losses in their last seven league matches. A highlight was a 3-1 away victory at ES Thaon on March 14.

Statistical projections point to a tight affair. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw. However, the same outlet’s ELO rating system gives Jura Dolois a 56.20% probability of securing a victory at home.

This match carries added significance for Sochaux-Montbeliard as it represents a final test in the fourth tier before a scheduled promotion to National 1. The club’s upcoming schedule, beginning April 17, is exclusively against third-division opponents, indicating an impending move to a higher competitive level.

For Jura Dolois, the game is an opportunity to complete a season double over a historic club and build momentum in the league campaign.

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Stade Municipal in Dole.
