Caen hosts Lorient in round 2 of French Ligue 2. The match will be played on Monday, August 5th at Stade Michel d'Ornano (Caen)
Caen held the last season in Ligue 1 and held it terribly - the team ended the championship in the penultimate line of the standings, having lagged only three points behind the saving zone. In this season, the Vikings have to assay their strength in the second most powerful league of France. In the first match of the season, Caen could get only one point in the away match against Sochaux. The teams could not deliver a single shot on target, and Caen generally looked very faded. Now the Vikings will have a more difficult test - Lorient goes to visit the newcomer of Ligue 2, and it defeated Paris in the first round with a 3-0 score. Caen is not successful in the meetings with Lorient - in the last six head-to-head matches, today's hosts could win only twice. I think that visitors will be able to gain points in the upcoming game...

Lorient easily beat Paris with a 3-0 score in the first round of the current Ligue 2 draw. In general, to be honest, I expected to see Lorient in the highest division, as the team showed very strong football, but it lacked a little bit for promotion. It is worth noting the fact that Lorient played very well away - in 19 away matches of the last season, the team lost only 6 times. In the first match, it was clear how motivated Lorient is for this season. Paris was simply destroyed, and, it seems to me, Caen is somewhat weaker than the metropolitan team. I’m sure the visitors will be able to gain points in the upcoming match...
Lorient showed a high-quality game in the first match of the season, but Caen, to be honest, did not impress me at all. It seems to me that the visitors have every chance to get points in this match - Lorient's victory or a draw!
Prediction for the match: Lorient to win with +0.5 handicap
