Caen host Rouen on Thursday, Sep 24 at 8:45 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Ligue 3, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Caen come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Rouen, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Caen and Rouen have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–3D–0W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Caen win or a draw looks most likely.
