Maxime Barthelmé scored the first goal for Guingamp in the 6th minute, then Emmanuel Ntim got the equalizer for Caen in the 18th minute on a feed from Romain Thomas But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 19th minute on a goal by Alexandre Mendy. Caen is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while pau is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Sochaux. Gaetan Weissbeck struck first for Sochaux in the 33rd minute, then Ibrahim Sissoko added another in the 74th minute In the end, Pau was frustrated by Sochaux’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sochaux ended the match with the shutout victory. Pau looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Pau won the head to head battle with 2 wins. Caen’s most prolific scorer has been Alexandre Mendy. The French attacker has netted two goals over the last five matches.
