Caen form and stats
Caen have collected 18 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 4-6-2. Caen are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Michel d'Ornano with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Nancy match.
Caen's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Paris Saint Germain. Preceding that game was the away draw at Amiens SC that finished 0-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Caen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won one time, drawn four and lost one.
Caen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Caen have conceded 12 goals.
