Historically, this fixture offers limited direct comparison due to a sparse recent record. The last meeting between Boulogne and Troyes took place in 2012.
Boulogne team overview
Boulogne’s 2025/26 campaign has been defined by inconsistency. Through 16 Ligue 2 matches, they have registered four wins, five draws, and eight losses, scoring 19 goals - an average of approximately 1.12 per game. This scoring rate has also been reflected in their recent Ligue 2 performances: they have drawn three of their last four league fixtures 1-1, with a 3-1 victory over Grenoble being the only exception to that trend.
Despite their relatively low attacking output, Boulogne are currently on a four-game unbeaten run in Ligue 2 (W1, D3), which has provided some much-needed stability.
In terms of injuries and suspensions, Souleymane Keita was sent off in the dying minutes of the 3-1 win over Grenoble a couple of weeks ago but should be available for selection. Corentin Fatou leads the scoring charts for the hosts, with four goals to his name.

Troyes team overview
Troyes are leading Ligue 2 with a record significantly superior to most of their competitors. As of Round 17, they have accumulated 32 points from 16 matches, demonstrating strong form with nine wins and only two defeats. Stéphane Dumont’s men have suffered just a single loss in their last 12 league fixtures - a clear indication that they are firmly on course for direct promotion to Ligue 1. Their five-match unbeaten run away from home further underlines Troyes’ ability to maintain consistency both home and away.
Troyes score at a rate of around 1.7-1.8 goals per match while conceding approximately one per game, underscoring both their attacking potency and defensive solidity. They remain unbeaten in recent away fixtures and continue to show balanced attacking output across competitions.
No major injury concerns have been reported within the Troyes squad, while Tawfik Bentayeb will be keen to add to his tally of eight goals when the sides meet on Monday.

Prediction
From a statistical standpoint, Troyes enter this fixture with clear momentum and superiority. Their higher points total, stronger goal differential, and unbeaten away run frame them as favourites, despite Boulogne’s occasional success in front of goal at home. Boulogne’s defensive frailties and lower league standing suggest they will need a highly disciplined performance to contain Troyes’ attack. We expect the league leaders to continue their push for direct promotion to Ligue 1 with another victory on Monday.
Prediction: Troyes to Win.
Three reasons we expect Troyes to Win
- Troyes are top of the Ligue 2 standings, while Boulogne sit in the relegation zone.
- Troyes have only lost once in the last 12 Ligue 2 fixtures.
- Boulogne have only picked up 2 wins from a possible 8 at the Stade de la Libération this season.
