Rodez – Boulogne

Rodez, sitting 11th with seven points from two wins, one draw and three losses and a narrow 11‑12 goal difference, will host Boulogne, who occupy 14th place with five points after five stalemates and a single defeat, having scored just two goals while conceding three. The home side’s modest attacking return this season contrasts with Boulogne’s defensive solidity, reflected in their string of draws. Both teams will be eager to turn their fortunes around, and the clash could prove decisive in the tight mid‑table scramble. A win for either side would not only lift them a place or two but also break the pattern of underwhelming results that has defined their campaigns so far.
