Struggling Caen will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Auxerre in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Caen is in the worst form (0-3-3)
- Auxerre have the most scored goals in the first half (33) in Ligue 2
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Relegation threatens Caen who should definitely be looking for some points here. Auxerre are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
