Caen form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Caen's two home games in the Ligue 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade Michel d'Ornano.

Stress levels are on the rise for Caen's attacking players as they have now played 181 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Deminguet was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Caen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Ligue 2 game against Valenciennes (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Chambly that ended 0-0.

Caen has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Amiens SC form and stats

The Ligue 2 season is young and Amiens SC have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Amiens aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 199 league minutes without a goal. S. Mendoza was the last player to find the net. The Amiens goalkeeper Regis Gurtner is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 213 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

There were no winners in Amiens's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 0-0 vs Pau (placed 19th). Before that, Amiens SC travelled to Châteauroux and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

It's early days yet, but Amiens SC has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Caen five wins, two draws and Amiens SC two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
