Fixture Analysis

It is a Ligue 2 clash, Regular Season - 10 as Boulogne welcome Guingamp to Stade de la Libération. Kick-off is set for Friday 17 October 2025 at 19:00 UTC.

Form Guide

Boulogne — All Games: 4W 0D 6L from 10 Ligue 2 outings this season, averaging 1.20 points per game. Last five: W L W L W. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Boulogne, so this record blends games from this season and last.

In front of their own supporters this season, Boulogne have posted 1W 0D 5L at Stade de la Libération — 0.50 PPG. At home they are averaging 0.67 goals scored and 1.83 conceded per game. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.50 lags behind their overall 1.20 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Stade de la Libération this season.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Guingamp stand at 4W 2D 4L from 10 Ligue 2 matches — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W L W W D. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 2.00. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Guingamp, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Guingamp's away record: 4W 0D 6L from 10 road trips in Ligue 2 this season (1.20 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Boulogne at 1.20 PPG versus Guingamp's 1.40. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

Trading Patterns

Boulogne in-play and half-time data (11 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Guingamp in-play and half-time data (11 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in away games; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 64%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Boulogne 46% versus Guingamp 64%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Boulogne 54% | Guingamp 73%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Boulogne 1.14 xG and Guingamp 1.98 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Boulogne attack 0.723 / defence 1.234 | Guingamp attack 1.255 / defence 1.259. League average goals — home 1.251 / away 1.281. Boulogne's attack strength of 0.723 is below the league average — the 1.14 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Guingamp bring a strong defensive rating of 1.259 — this is suppressing Boulogne's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Guingamp have an above-average attack strength of 1.255 — the away xG of 1.98 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 9 Boulogne games / 43 Guingamp games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Boulogne 21% | Draw 22% | Guingamp 57%. Fair-value odds: Boulogne 4.76 | Draw 4.55 | Guingamp 1.75. The model has a clear lean to Guingamp (57%) — a 36pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Guingamp as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.12 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 59% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Boulogne 50% | Guingamp 70% BTTS from recent games.
