2nd position in the Ligue 2 table for Lorient so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Caen visits Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir.
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!
This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Caen's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Caen have performed like this: Played one match resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats with the goal stats 2-1 (scored/conceded).
Lorient form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir as Lorient have scored 13 goals to get 19 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 2 are 6-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir after three straight home wins.
Lorient's previous game was a Coupe de France match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Brest. The home side are looking to build on that result. A Ligue 2 defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Valenciennes.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lorient's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played nine games, won 6 matches, drawn 3 and lost 0.
Lorient are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. From these home matches, Lorient have conceded only 5 goals.
Caen form and stats
2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Caen playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Caen, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Guichen in the Coupe de France last time out. A draw for Caen before that, at their own venue hosting Clermont (0-0).
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Caen playing away, we found five games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 2 home wins.
Caen find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Caen have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Caen - Lorient 1-2 earlier this season. Lorient-Caen H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Lorient 5 wins, Caen 5 wins, 0 draws. 6 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
