The visiting Ajaccio side should be favourites in this visit to Caen, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's quite the trip for Ajaccio when visiting Caen as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Caen form and stats
Caen have collected 11 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 2-5-3.
In their previous game, the manager P. Dupraz led his Caen to a defeat in the Coupe de France match away at Montpellier. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Michel d'Ornano. A Ligue 2 defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Lorient.
Caen were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Caen here at Stade Michel d'Ornano in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 10 games). Caen have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Ajaccio form and stats
Ajaccio's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Ajaccio, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Ligue 2, collect 20 points from their 10 away matches in the Ligue 2. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
The supporters enjoyed Ajaccio's previous game versus Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 11th), a Ligue 2 3-1 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Troyes wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Goalkeeper Benjamin Leroy was absolutely vital in the Ajaccio victory against Grenoble Foot 38, making 7 saves.
Ajaccio find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Ajaccio as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
