This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 2, Caen holding 14th place and Pau lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Caen have the most conceded goals in the first half (24) in Ligue 2
- Pau have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
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.
Pau have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
