Struggling Boulogne will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Stade Briochin in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Boulogne have the fewest scored goals (21) in National
- Stade Briochin have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Boulogne have less rest than Stade Briochin in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a National game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sète, was also a home game here at Stade de la Libération. The away team is better rested.
Briochin are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Boulogne form and stats
Boulogne's struggle is real here at Stade de la Libération with only 12 points collected from 13 National games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-9-3.
The Boulogne goalkeeper Simon Lugier is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 225 minutes without conceding a goal in the National.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Avranches that finished 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Boulogne perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Boulogne as a small favourite), we find six games. Boulogne has won one of these, drawn four and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Boulogne as they have a new game in only three days, a National match thankfully also at home. Laval are visiting.
