Caen, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Laval will have left the Caen squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Laval managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Jean-Marc Furlan will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stade Michel D’Ornano.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
When it comes to home matches at Stade Michel D’Ornano, Alexandre Mendy will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 7 league goals for Caen in their last 6 home games.
Saint-Etienne, Recent FormSaint-Etienne had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Valenciennes. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Valenciennes had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Laurent Battles will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 10 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 when on their travels.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Ibrahima Wadji will be looking to cause Caen some problems having scored 3 goals in Saint-Etienne's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
