REF’s picks

Stade Lavallois sit at the foot of the Ligue 2 table and need a response, but their historical edge over Boulogne and home advantage make the narrow -0.25 handicap worth backing. Boulogne have shown resilience with draws against strong sides recently, meaning this will be far from straightforward.

1. 1Laval hold a strong historical head-to-head record against Boulogne, winning three of their last five meetings.
2. 2Boulogne have proven tough to beat lately, holding high-flying Stade de Reims to a draw last time out.
3. 3Laval's poor league position and recent defensive vulnerabilities leave plenty of room for error.
