Boulogne
- Boulogne have been solid but unspectacular since returning to the professional ranks, occupying 15th place in Ligue 2 with 27 points from 25 matches.
- They have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches.
-
Recent stats:
- Boulogne have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 8 of their 12 Ligue 2 home matches, conceding 23 goals.
- Boulogne have been tough to beat this season due to Fabien Dagneaux’s disciplined 4-3-3 setup which transforms into a compact 5-4-1 or narrow block when they are defending against better sides.
- This shape has allowed the club to play some attractive counterattacking soccer when they have the ball, but it has also contributed to their recent run of back-to-back home defeats.
SC Amiens
- SC Amiens are just behind Boulogne in 16th place on 23 points from 25 games, having won just one of their last five (1 draw, 3 losses).
-
Recent stats:
- SC Amiens have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 6 of their 12 Ligue 2 away matches, scoring 15 goals.
- Omar Daf has a different style of setup to Boulogne, with SC Amiens employing a 4-2-3-1 formation to press up high and use their wide players to stretch opposition defences and win balls in dangerous areas to get their forwards to the ball.
Key Players
Teddy Averlant has been in good form recently, scoring two in five and being the club’s top scorer in Ligue 2 with five goals from 24 games .
Betting Insights
- However, with Amiens being much the better away side in Ligue 2 this term, we believe they can break down Boulogne’s structure and claim the win on Friday.
- Take Amiens to win at 3.82.
Prediction
Amiens will probably win this game.
