Boulogne vs Nancy: match statistics
Boulogne is in significantly better form over their last five matches with a record of 3-1-1 and an average of 2 points per game, while Nancy is in a crisis without a win and only 0.4 points per game. The hosts have an advantage in shooting efficiency in home matches (14% shot conversion compared to Nancy's 10% away) and a higher average possession (47% vs 39%). Nancy has one of the weakest away records in the league with only 23% wins and a concerning rate of 38% of matches without scoring a goal. Although Boulogne has a weaker home record (31% wins), their current form and statistical advantage against a crisis-stricken opponent give them a real chance of triumph. However, Nancy's high percentage of draws away (31%) and the defensive problems of both teams suggest that a draw also remains a likely scenario.
