Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Paris - Caen!

Playing away, Caen, who have the most clean sheets (6) in Ligue 2, have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Ligue 2 this season. Caen seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Caen's previous game versus Guingamp (placed 12th), a Ligue 2 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Niort wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Jessy Deminguet came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Guingamp last time out, making the manager P. Dupraz feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Jessy Deminguet scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Guingamp.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Caen as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Caen in these games.
