This match features two teams living in the basement of the National, Orléans holding 14th place and Boulogne lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

The visiting Boulogne played their last game only four days ago, a National match. That game was also an away game, at Laval. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
