In a weekend match in week 23, on Saturday Feb 5th, Nancy will play host to Caen in a meeting of these two mismatched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, Nancy recorded a 0-2 loss against Amiens SC. Arnaud Lusamba scored the first goal for Amiens SC in the 15th minute, then Toluwalase Arokodare added another in the 38th minute on a feed from Arnaud Lusamba At the end of 90 a dissapointed Nancy couldn’t manage to score, and Amiens SC took the shutout win. Nancy is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while 14th placed Caen is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Niort. Ibrahim Sissoko struck first for Niort in the 4th minute, then Sissoko added another in the 48th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Caen couldn’t manage to score, and Niort took the shutout win. Caen looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Caen was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Alexandre Mendy struck first for Caen in the 17th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Nancy was frustrated by Caen’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Caen ended the match with the shutout victory.
Caen’s most prolific scorer has been Nuno Da Costa. The attacker has netted three goals over the last 5 matches. Mickaël Biron and Andrew Jung are the top scorers for Nancy in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
