Stade Briochin vs Boulogne Prediction & Betting Tips (26 January)

Stade Briochin currently find themselves on an 11-game winless run at the top table of the National 2, and five of their last nine encounters have ended in defeat. The contrast with Boulogne could not be much more striking, so all the signs point in one direction.

Stade Briochin have become renowned for keeping things tight on home soil, with 17 of their previous 20 top-flight fixtures, including nine in a row of late, serving up under 2.5 goals. A thriller would therefore seem unlikely against most opponents, but particularly against a Boulogne side that has been involved in 13 such low-scoring encounters across their last 16 trips.

Over the course of their last 15 National 2 matches, Boulogne have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 13 top-flight fixtures involving Stade Briochin.
