In a mid week match in week 22, on Monday Jan 24th, Caen will host Ajaccio in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 15th placed Caen is fresh off their 2-3 loss against Sochaux. Nuno Da Costa struck first for Caen in the 17th minute on a feed from Steve Shamal, then Deminguet added another in the 28th minute on a penalty kick Finally they completed the comback victory in the 93rd minute on a goal by Samuel Teixeira Do Couto Teixeira Maxime Joze to cap off a wild match. Caen looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, Ajaccio recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Grenoble Foot 38. Riad Nouri struck first for Ajaccio in the 49th minute on a feed from Yanis Cimignani, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Grenoble Foot 38 couldn’t muster any offence and Ajaccio ran away with the shutout win. Ajaccio is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Wed Aug 25th, Ajaccio was victorious by a score of 2 to 0. Kouame Jean Fiacre Botue struck first for Ajaccio in the 1st minute on a feed from Cyrille Bayala, then Oumar Gonzalez added another in the 75th minute on a feed from Gaëtan Courtet In the end, Caen couldn’t muster any offence and Ajaccio ran away with the shutout win.
Yanis Cimignani and Gaëtan Courtet are the top scorers for Ajaccio in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Caen’s most prolific scorer has been Nuno Da Costa. The attacker has netted three goals over the last 5 matches.
