By going this Tuesday on the ground of the neighbor Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole during the 19th day of Ligue 2, the SM Caen has the opportunity to leave behind a difficult year 2021 and especially to
This will require a performance on the ground in line with the draw obtained in Auxerre (2-2) and the victory won in Ornano against Guingamp (2-0).
“We asked for a reaction after the PFC match (0-1) at Auxerre, it took place, lists the coach Stéphane Moulin. We had asked for a confirmation, it took place. Now it has to become something usual. We are playing against a team that is on a good dynamic. They come out of two consecutive victories in the league and a qualification for the Coupe de France.
It’s a team that is not easy to play because of its unusual way of doing things. We have to ignore our opponent a little bit to focus on ourselves first and try to get a good result to finish the year.
We have the possibility, if we get a good result in the end, to correct this first start of the season, which was very irregular, but I expect a difficult match. “
The statistics.
“We never did three games in a row without losing this season“, recalls the Caen coach. You have to go back to last February, almost ten months ago to sign such a performance (from the 23rd to the 26th day with three draws and a victory).
It should also be noted that over the past ten seasons, Stade Malherbe Caen has won only once to end the year (for four draws and four defeats). It was in 2012 in Châteauroux (0-1).
