  • Caen is in the worst form (0-2-4)
  • Dunkerque have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Ligue 2

It's no vacation for neither Caen nor Dunkerque as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Relegation threatens Caen who should definitely be looking for some points here.

Caen form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 2 for Caen at their home stadium (Stade Michel d'Ornano) is 5 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats.

No payout for Caen in their previous match, an away game at Troyes that ended in defeat 0-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Grenoble Foot 38.

The manager F. Vandeputte will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sochaux in only four days.

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 (14 from 16 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Dunkerque form and stats

Dunkerque have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 4-2-10 (16 played).

Dunkerque played 1-1 against Grenoble Foot 38 in their previous match. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Châteauroux at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Dunkerque has another fixture away, a Ligue 2 game, against Auxerre in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The attacking power of Dunkerque when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Dunkerque's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Dunkerque - Caen 2-3 earlier this season.
