Boulogne are without a win in 5 matches (D2, L3), while Red Star 93 Saint Ouen have a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches.
Boulogne
- With just 1 point from their first 2 fixtures in Ligue 2 2026/2027, Boulogne currently sit 13th in the French second-tier and need to get their campaign started sooner rather than later.
- A 0-0 draw at home to AS Nancy Lorraine and a 1-0 defeat away at EA Guingamp are their only results in Ligue 2 2026/2027 to date, so it's clear that Fabien Dagneaux's men will need to change their approach at the Stade de la Liberation.
Red Star 93 Saint Ouen
With 4 points from their opening 2 matches, Red Star 93 Saint Ouen have made a solid start to Ligue 2 2026/2027, sitting 6th in the table ahead of kick off on Friday.
Head-to-Head
Red Star have won 1 of the last 2 head-to-head encounters in Ligue 2 , with Boulogne yet to chalk up a win.

Betting Insights
- Les Audoniens, who travel to Boulogne as bookies' favorites at 2.35, have drawn one and won one of their 2 Ligue 2 2026/2027 matches to date, posting a 0-0 draw at home to FC Sochaux and a 1-0 victory away at FC Nantes.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 looks good for this low-scoring game, while both teams to score is a close call.
Prediction
- This game looks likely to be a chess match as opposed to a shootout.
- While Boulogne will set up to stay compact in their 4-2-3-1 formation, win second balls and break quickly on the counter, Red Star will come at them with an intense game of pressing and duels.
- We're going to back the away team to nick this one, but with Red Star winning just 1 of their previous 2 meetings with Boulogne, it's unlikely to be a blowout.
