It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Caen, who are travelling more than 1300 kilometers to play this game.
Ajaccio form and stats
Ajaccio have played 9 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Ajaccio bring valid hopes of a third.
The home team returns to Stade François Coty after being equal after 90 minutes with Paris (placed 6th) on their last time out; the Ligue 2 game ended 1-1. Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against Pau.
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 Ajaccio have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ajaccio as they are travelling to their away game against Chateauroux in the Coupe de France. That match is three days after this one.
Ajaccio aren't scoring a lot here at Stade François Coty in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Caen form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2.
There were no winners in Caen's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 2-2 vs Toulouse (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Auxerre.
It looked so good for Caen vs Toulouse, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
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 six relevant matches. Results were two Caen wins, one draw and three defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Caen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Coupe de France game at Guingamp is waiting in only three days.
Caen have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Caen in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Caen - Ajaccio 1-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Ajaccio, three draws and five wins for Caen. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
