It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the National.

Boulogne form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the National this season. Boulogne, who have the fewest points (6) at home in National, have only managed 0 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Stade de la Libération. With eight home National games in a row without a win, the Boulogne fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Red Star game long ago, can be stopped today.

R. Frikeche was the last player to score a league goal for Boulogne and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Boulogne haven't scored in 190 minutes.

Boulogne travelled for their previous game, a trip to Red Star that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Boulogne lost 0-1 at home to Annecy.

Boulogne aren't scoring a lot here at Stade de la Libération in the league, with only 5 goals from 8 games. From these home matches, Boulogne have conceded only 7 goals.
