Caen form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Caen playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on P. Dupraz, the Caen manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Caen won their last game, 2-1 versus Nancy played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Paris wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Caen made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Anthony Weber receiving a red card in the 64th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Caen won the match 2-1! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager P. Dupraz when Nicholas Gioacchini scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Nicholas Gioacchini scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Nancy.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Caen have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Havre, four draws and two wins for Caen. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
