Boulogne form and stats

Boulogne have played 14 National games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-9-3 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade de la Libération.

A nice win for Boulogne last time playing, versus Stade Briochin. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with B. Pierret and H. Moussaki scoring for the victors. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sete in a game that was won 3-0.

There will be little rest for Boulogne after this match as they are travelling to Lyon Duchere for a National game in only three days.

Boulogne are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 14 games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home 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 14 matches.

Laval form and stats

Playing away, Laval, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) away in National, have won 4 games, drawn 7 and suffered 4 defeats in the National this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Laval are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Laval, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Sete (placed 12th). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Villefranche.

Laval were so close to getting something from the game against Sete, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

A quick return to home after this game, as Laval are hosting Concarneau in the National only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Laval as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Laval as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
