This could be an interesting match as Caen have their presumed home advantage while Troyes are ahead 13 points in the Ligue 2 table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Caen form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Caen have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games.

Caen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 12 games. 16 goals have been conceded.
Troyes form and stats
6-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Troyes in their Ligue 2 matches away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Troyes are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
