Ajaccio are ready to battle it out with Caen in this Ligue 2 game. All you need to know about the match is here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligue 2.

These teams have little in common geographically as Caen have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Caen form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Ligue 2, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats from 19 matches.

Caen are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Ligue 2 against Nancy (placed 20th). Midfield player Johann Lepenant was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.63/10. Lepenant had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Sochaux.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played two away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats. zero games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Caen have another fixture away from home in just three days, a Ligue 2 fixture versus Nimes. A gruelling itinerary for the visiting team!

1 goal so far away for Caen, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head
