Given how far back most of this goes and the mix of competitions involved, it's not something that tells us much about how either side is playing right now.
Old meetings like these carry limited weight for this fixture.
Where they sit in the table
Reims are second with 17 points from nine games, built on four wins and five draws without a single defeat so far. Sochaux sit eleventh with 11 points from the same number of matches, having won two, drawn five and lost two.

The goal difference tells a similar story. Reims have scored 19 and conceded 11, while Sochaux have managed just seven goals for and nine against.
Reims look the more solid side on the numbers so far this campaign.

Players to watch
Reims' Y. Fofana has six goals in seven matches, with D. Guindo contributing three assists in the same span, suggesting a reasonably sharp attacking unit. Y. El Kachati adds two goals from six games.
On the discipline side, Reims' A. Zohouri has picked up two red cards in just four matches, which is worth bearing in mind. Sochaux's S. Agouzoul has two yellows from three games.
Zohouri's card record is something to keep an eye on if he starts.

There's a reasonably clear gap between these two sides on paper, with Reims well ahead in the table and in better recent form. Sochaux's tendency to draw rather than lose outright, though, means this isn't as one-sided as the league positions alone suggest.
With no market currently available to assess, we'll sit this one out rather than guess at value that isn't there to check.
