Match Preview
Boulogne hosts Saint-Étienne at the Stade de la Libération on Saturday, 23 August, in a Ligue 2 clash that sees two teams with contrasting recent form. Boulogne has struggled, recording three consecutive losses before bouncing back with two wins, while Saint-Étienne has shown more consistency with three wins from their last five matches. Historically, Boulogne has had a tough time against Saint-Étienne, winning only once in their last ten encounters, and they will need to overcome this mental barrier to secure a positive result. One key angle to consider is Boulogne's defensive frailties, which have seen them concede in four of their last five matches. With odds of 1.83 for both teams to score, it seems likely that Saint-Étienne, who have found the net regularly, will exploit these weaknesses. The visitors are also favoured at 1.67 to win, indicating the bookmakers' confidence in their ability to secure three points. A close match could unfold, but the form and head-to-head statistics suggest that Saint-Étienne may edge this encounter.
