Caen form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Caen playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Sochaux with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Caen won their away game at Dunkerque. The scoreline was 3-2.
