This is match day, this is Ligue 2 and this is Bordeaux - Caen. Read our full match preview!
- Caen have scored in all their away matches so far.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Bordeaux form and stats
Bordeaux must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ligue 2 games here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique.
Stress levels are on the rise for Bordeaux's attacking players as they have now played 182 minutes without scoring in a league game. Pitu was their last goal scorer.
Bordeaux are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Grenoble Foot 38. Midfielder Cassubie was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.84 (out of ten) in that game. Cassubie dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 50 successful passes (of 56 total).
Preceding that game was the away draw at Guingamp that finished 0-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bordeaux have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 1, drawn 3 and lost 4.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bordeaux, as the Ligue 2 home game vs Laval is only four days away.
A decent goal production from Bordeaux in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. On the other hand, Bordeaux have conceded 4 goals.
Caen form and stats
Caen have six points from their first three away games in the Ligue 2, meaning two victories and a loss. It's looking increasingly bleak for Caen who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Ajaccio was the last time a defeat was avoided.
The manager Furlan was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Stade Michel d'Ornano. Caen suffered a 0-1 loss to Guingamp (placed 5th). It is possibly a bad omen for Caen that their goalie Mandrea pulled off six saves in the Guingamp game, but still were unable to hinder a beating.
A 1-2 loss hosting Grenoble Foot 38 before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Caen playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 1 Caen win, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Caen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 2 game at Rodez is waiting in only four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Caen's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Caen as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
