Bastia vs Caen Prediction – Ligue 2

Currently languishing in 18th with just 22 points from 5 wins, 7 draws, and 21 losses, the visiting team is in dire straits. They suffered a heavy defeat to Lorient (4-0) in their penultimate match, followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw against Red Star at home. Caen has been largely unaffected by home advantage, recording a similar performance both at home and away. In their last 30 games, they’ve managed 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses as visitors, scoring 18 goals while conceding 27. At home, they’ve seen 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, netting 19 goals and allowing 21. Throughout this league campaign, Caen has earned just 4 points from 30 available away from home, with only 1 win, a draw, and 8 losses in the last 10 away encounters. Half-time scores have often finished 0-0 in 7 of their 17 games. Defensively, they have faltered, conceding in 9 of their last 10 matches, yet consistently found the net in 7 of those. There’s a notable trend of overs, with 11 of their 16 away games featuring over 2.5 goals. They’ve conceded the first goal in 24 out of 33 matches and have failed to overturn the scoreline on each occasion. Interestingly, in their last 16 away fixtures, Caen scored 7 of their 15 goals late in matches.

Despite their recent draw, Caen has not demonstrated sufficient strength to improve their position in Ligue 2. Already confirmed for relegation, they enter this final match with little at stake. This presents an opportune moment for their coaching staff to consider resting fatigued players. With away games becoming increasingly challenging, they face a tough test against Bastia.
