This is a vital face-off in the lower part of the CFA Group A, with both Caen II and Saint-Malo undergoing more stress than joy. This fixture is a real "six-pointer" with the hosting team placed 12th and the guests in 14th place.

Insights:
  • Caen II have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won.
  • Saint-Malo have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in CFA Group A

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Saint-Malo so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose).

Saint-Malo lost away at Versailles (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A 2-2 draw at Dinan Lehon (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties)'s stadium before that.
