SM Caen will be hoping for a better result following the 2-1 Ligue 2 defeat last time out to AC Ajaccio.

In that match, SM Caen managed 58% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for SM Caen was Alexandre Mendy (90'). Ajaccio got 7 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Mickaël Barreto (20') and Christopher Ibayi (45') scored for AC Ajaccio.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where SM Caen have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that SM Caen have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 7 goals during that time. Regardless, time will tell whether that trend might persist in this next game.
