On Wednesday evening, Caen host Nantes at the Stade Michel d'Ornano, as the home team looks to escape the Ligue One relegation zone.
A poor recent run of form means that Caen are currently second from bottom in the Ligue One table. However, a victory in this clash could move them up to 16th and out of the relegation zone.
The home side’s recent Ligue One form has been awful, as they have failed to win in five Ligue One games, having suffered four straight defeats in the French top-flight. Last time out in Ligue One, they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Amiens. The defeat means that Caen have won just one of their last 15 games in Ligue One.
The home side has struggled for goals of late in the French top-flight, having failed to score in their last three league outings.
SM Caen’s recent home recent in the French top-flight is poor, as they have lost five of their last six league games on home soil.
Nantes are 15th place in Ligue One, just six points clear of the relegation-threatened home side. Their recent Ligue One form has been poor, as the visitors have failed to win in five Ligue One games while suffering four defeats in the process. Last time out in Ligue One, the visitors suffered a 4-2 home defeat against Nimes.
Nantes recent away form is also a tale of woe, as they have failed to win in five away games in Ligue One while suffering four straight defeats in the process. Their recent matches on their travels have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches on their travels. The fact that Nantes have failed to score in four away games have contributed heavily to those low scoring matches.
Forebet predicts that Caen will move out of the relegation zone by recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
