Caen take on the visitors Metz in the round 18 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, December 17th at Stade Michel d'Ornano (Caen).
Caen show quite disappointing results recently, taking one win in their last nine matches this season. The hosts are currently on four-match run without a single win and the last time they took three points was back on November 6th. Of course, it’s tough to battle for top places with one win in two months and Caen sit on 18th position with 15 points taken and poor 16-30 aggregate goal difference. Caen took 14 out of 15 points in home matches and avoided defeats in recent three games at own turf.

Metz took difficult win over Toulouse this week in League Cup match as the opponents had to take 11 round in penalty shootout. Despite defeats in recent league matches against Nancy, 0-4, and Bastia, 0-2, Metz sit higher in the league that the hosts, occupying 15th place with 18 points. The team took 10 points in their eight away matches. However, four out of five of these games were defeats of Metz.
Metz are undefeated in matches with Caen since 2013, for four matches in a row. However, penalty shootout took a lot of resources from the visitors so we can expect well-rested Caen to prevail in match at own turf. However, recent results of the opponents suggest that even if Caen wins, the victory shouldn’t be confident.
Prediction for the match: Metz to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
