Guingamp hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 17th position in the Ligue 2 table. Visiting Caen holds 9th place with 33 pts.

Insights:
  • Guingamp has the fewest scored goals in the first half (5) in Ligue 2
  • Caen has the most conceded goals in the first half (19) in Ligue 2

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.

Guingamp form and stats

With {2 Ligue 2 wins}, 6 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Guingamp are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Ligue 2 games in a row without a win, the Guingamp fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Auxerre game long ago, can be stopped today.

An away draw last time out for Guingamp, facing Auxerre in a game that ended 1-1. In the match before that, Guingamp hosted Dunkerque and drew the game 0-0.

The Guingamp fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 12 matches. Guingamp have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Caen form and stats

Caen have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 3-3-6 (12 played).

The Caen goalkeeper Sullivan Pean is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 265 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing from Anthony Weber secured the home win 1-0 against Niort in their previous game. A 0-1 loss hosting Paris Saint Germain before that.

Caen have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 12 goals have been scored. 17 goals have been conceded by Caen in these games.
