Caen will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 8 points behind Toulouse.
- Caen has the most points from losing position (12) in Ligue 2
- Toulouse is in the best form (5-1-0)
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Toulouse have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Caen form and stats
The story so far in the Ligue 2 for Caen at their home stadium (Stade Michel d'Ornano) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.
Caen drew their last game, 1-1 away at Auxerre (placed 5th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Sochaux (1-4).
Benjamin Jeannot was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Auxerre after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Caen have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Caen have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Toulouse form and stats
Toulouse's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Toulouse, who have the most points (17) away in Ligue 2, collect 17 points from their 8 away matches in the Ligue 2. 5 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Grenoble Foot 38 game have they lost an away game, meaning Toulouse has taken points from seven away matches in a row. The fact that Toulouse have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
187 minutes! That's how long the Toulouse goalkeeper Maxime Dupe and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Impressive finishing from Stijn Spierings secured the home win 1-0 against Paris in their previous game. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Pau.
Toulouse goalie Maxime Dupé was high and low in the Paris game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Toulouse made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Anthony Rouault receiving a red card in the 32nd minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Toulouse won the match 1-0!
Toulouse have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 16 goals from 8 away matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Toulouse have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Caen, three draws and two wins for Toulouse. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
