Game: LE HAVRE vs CAEN
Type: FRANCE LIGUE 1
Date: 11 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Basement dwellers Le Havre and Caen squares off at the critical stage of the League as both teams struggle to keep themselves afloat. With 8 matches remaining (including this) and 9pts off the safety zone, Le Havre is fully aware that they will need to win as many matches as possible to have the slightest of chances to survive relegation. Unfortunately at home, they have the worst record with a paltry 0.89 goals scored on average while conceding 1.50 goals in return.
Visitors Caen are faring no better, as they have slid down the league table at an alarming rate. More important is the fact that they have yet to register a win in their last 17 matches! Scoring an average of 1.00 goals away while conceding 1.61 goals is one of the main culprit culminating their free fall as they have drawn as many games as they have lost. Despite this, Caen have lost the least amongst the bottom 6 teams, which might do their chances no harm to win against Le Havre.
KWIK STATS
HOME > LE HAVRE
AWAY > CAEN
THE PICK
Previous meetings between these two teams have yielded 3 draws out of 4 matches. Interestingly, Le Havre have not drawn in their last 9 at home while Caen have not drawn in their last 5 matches. While both will be expected to go all out for a win, CAEN still holds the edge here as their form have picked up a bit (not lost in last 2) and Le Havre have yet to prove that they are capable to play in Ligue 1.
