Caen form and stats

Caen have played three Ligue 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Caen lost their last game at Troyes (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Le Havre that was lost 0-3.

The lack of attacking qualities in Caen means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Caen have conceded 5 from these games.
