It's no vacation for neither Boulogne nor Sète as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sète have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Boulogne form and stats

With 0 National wins, 9 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Boulogne, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in National, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Boulogne who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Cholet, 116 days ago. With twelve 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.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boulogne have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 20 games) they have won six times, drawn nine and lost five.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Boulogne, as the National home game vs Stade Briochin is only four days away.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Boulogne here at Stade de la Libération in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 12 games). 12 goals have been conceded.

Sète form and stats

There's been little loot from Sète's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the National. Sète only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws. It's three draws from Sète's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Bastia-Borgo.

We have checked recent matches where Sète have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, one draw and three defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Laval in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sète as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Sète have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Sète - Boulogne 4-0 earlier this season. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Boulogne victories, one draw and two Sète wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
