Sedan form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade Louis-Dugauguez as Sedan have scored 7 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the National are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Sedan drew their last game, also a home match. Paris (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) was the opponent, 2-2 the score.

Before that, Sedan played out a National draw 1-1 when visiting Concarneau.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sedan perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sedan as a small favourite), we find six games. Sedan has won four of these, drawn one and lost one.

The Sedan fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Defensively Sedan have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 7 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Boulogne form and stats

There's been little loot from Boulogne's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the National. Boulogne only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Boulogne are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

The manager É. Chelle was unhappy after their last game, a National match played at their home ground Stade de la Libération. Boulogne suffered a 1-2 loss to Bourg-en-Bresse (placed 1st).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sete wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Boulogne playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Boulogne wins, three draws and seven defeats.

Boulogne have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Boulogne have conceded 11 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Data for the last ten meetings involving these two contenders are: one win for Sedan, four draws and five wins for Boulogne. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
