Over their past six games alone, the sum total of 20 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 15 of them coming from FC Lorient. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see whether such a trend might continue on in this next match.

SM Caen

LLLDDL ⚠

Analysis of their past results shows that SM Caen:

• have not emerged victorious against FC Lorient when they've played them away from home in the last 5 league matches. Not good at all.
• are without an away win for the past 3 league games.
