General match analysis

Laval create more chances at home, averaging 16 shots and an xG of 1.81, while Boulogne average 12 shots and an xG of 1.36 away from home. However, the hosts score just 1.4 goals per home match and concede 2.0, making it difficult to turn that advantage into results. Boulogne have kept a clean sheet in 60% of their away matches and concede an average of just 0.4 goals there, but score only 0.6 goals themselves and have failed to score in 60% of those games. In their last five matches, Laval have won once and conceded 8 goals, while Boulogne have also won once but conceded only 4. With Boulogne drawing 60% of their away matches and Laval drawing 40% at home, a share of the points looks the most likely outcome.

BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal points to at least one team failing to score: in Boulogne’s away matches, both teams scored in only 20% of cases, while Boulogne failed to score in 60% of its games. Boulogne average 0.6 goals away from home, while Laval average 0.75 at home, limiting the chances of both teams finding the net. In addition, the visitors concede just 0.4 goals per away match and keep a clean sheet in 60% of those games. Recent form is the main argument against BTTS - No: both teams scored in 60% of each side’s last five matches, and their average xG was 1.54 and 1.29, respectively. Despite this improved attacking potential, Boulogne’s low away scoring rate and solid defence give the edge to the scenario in which at least one team does not score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals: none of Laval’s home matches or Boulogne’s away matches so far have gone over this line. The cautious outlook is also supported by both teams’ scoring rates—Laval average 0.75 goals at home, while Boulogne score 0.6 away; the visitors also concede just 0.4 goals per match. However, both sides have posted higher attacking xG in their last five matches, at 1.54 and 1.29 respectively, so ruling out a few goals altogether would be too strong a call. Even so, Over 2.5 goals has landed in only 40% of Laval’s last five matches and 20% of Boulogne’s, reinforcing the case for the safer 3.5 line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: in their last five matches, Laval went into the break level on four occasions, while Boulogne did so three times. At home, Laval average 0.25 goals before half-time, while Boulogne have failed to score in the first half in their away matches. The hosts’ home record also points to a draw after 90 minutes, with three draws in four matches, as does the visitors’ away record, with three draws in five games. Despite the teams’ similar xG—1.30 for Laval compared with 1.36 for Boulogne—their actual scoring output is low: they average 0.75 and 0.60 goals per match respectively in these conditions. The data therefore lend the strongest support to a draw both at half-time and at full-time, although Boulogne’s advantage after the break makes X/2 a significant alternative.
