Starting with the hosts, while Boulogne might have made real history as they made their Ligue 2 return this season, it is no secret that Fabien Dagneaux's men are widely regarded as a leading relegation candidate this time around. Getting proceedings underway with a 1-0 defeat away at Nancy on August 15th, the Reds have drastically failed to deal with the leap up in opposition.

Starting with the hosts, left frustrated last season as they eventually had to settle for a downbeat bottom-half finish, Amiens are seeking some crucial stability this time around. Despite getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a frantic 2-2 stalemate against Reims on August 11th, Omar Duf's side came roaring back last time out. Putting in what was a dominant performance as they cruised their way to a 3-1 romp away at Red Star, the Unicorns will be desperately seeking a repeat display here.

Metz, with a strong home record and recent form, aim to capitalize on their play-off position against struggling Reims, as both teams vie for a crucial first-leg advantage.
