Boulogne form and stats
Boulogne have collected 18 points from their National home games so far after 3-9-3. Boulogne has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Le Mans defeat 67 days ago. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Boulogne, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
The home team returns to Stade de la Libération after being equal after 90 minutes with Lyon Duchere (placed 18th) on their last time out; the National game ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Boulogne won a home game hosting Laval (1-0).
Opportunity lost for Boulogne in the Lyon Duchere match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Boulogne's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won two matches, drawn two and lost one.
The Boulogne fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 15 matches. Boulogne are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade de la Libération in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 15 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Cholet form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cholet, who have the fewest scored goals (6) away in National, so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-7 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Cholet have lost on their last two travels.
Cholet have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 385 minutes ago. Y. Le Méhauté was the goal scorer.
Cholet are travelling again after losing away to Red Star in their previous match (0-3). A draw for Cholet before that, at their own venue hosting Quevilly Rouen (0-0).
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Cholet playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and two home wins.
A new game in only three days for Cholet, the National home match versus Bastia. Busy days.
Cholet are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 6 goals from 15 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Cholet in these games.
