Caen form and stats

With 2 Ligue 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Caen are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Caen, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Caen travelled for their previous game, a trip to Auxerre that ended 2-2. Midfield player Hugo Vandermersch got a match rating of 7.62 in that game, the max score being 10. Vandermersch scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 36 successful passes (of 44 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Paris (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Caen have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won five, drawn four and lost five.

Caen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. 11 goals have been conceded.

Guingamp form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 2 matches, Guingamp have produced an overall stat of 2-4-3 so far.

Guingamp go into this game after a win, the home game against Dijon that ended 3-2. Guingamp can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Dijon. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 3-2 victory. Baptiste Roux scored the final goal. Frantzdy Pierrot, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 6.93. Pierrot scored one goal and hit one key pass.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Stade Briochin in the Coupe de France.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Guingamp in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Guingamp, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Guingamp have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the former ten meetings featuring these two sides are: two wins for Caen, seven draws and one win for Guingamp. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
