SM Caen

LDLDLW

SM Caen, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-1 Ligue 2 success over Clermont Foot.

In that game, SM Caen managed 27% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For SM Caen, the goals were scored by Prince Oniangué (82') and Benjamin Jeannot (92'). Clermont Foot had 19 shots on goal with 7 on target. Mohamed Bayo (89') was the scorer for Clermont Foot.

SM Caen have struggled with their forward play in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 vs opponents during their previous 6 outings. In those meetings, Caen have also seen the number of goals against them total 7. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen if that trend might continue on in this upcoming match.

Rodez

Rodez have been good when going forward of late, scoring 6 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Rodez have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same outings.
