Boulogne perform in the National which is France’s third tier where they are currently sitting close to the relegation zone. In seven matches played on the road in this season the side has earned five points. The club’s offense doesn’t impress much, having scored only seven goals while its defense also leaves much to be desired, having conceded 12 goals. In the latest away fights Boulogne deserved 0:1 defeat from Consolat Marseille, 3:2 score victory over Pau and 0:3 loss to Creteil. On the previous stage of the Coup de France the side knocked out Arras with 2:1 scoreline.
Lens are considered to be the favourite of the forthcoming battle as they perform in a higher division and have better footballers. The hosts’ shape is very good at this point while Boulogne stay in a miserable form now plus the away clashes are a very tough task for the side, consequently, the visitors’ chances for a suitable result in the forthcoming game are very low.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win.
