Team News

Caen
Evian
  • Nicolas Benezet, who has made himself essential of late, will miss the reception of his parent club on Saturday evening.
  • Patrice Garande is still without centre-backs Alaeddine Yahia and Yrondu Musavu-King for this weekend's match, while Lenny Nangis is suspended for one game.
  • Julien Féret should therefore return to the starting XI in midfield, while the duo of Damien Da Silva and Jordan Adéoti continue to impress at the back.
  • Jonathan Mensah has been suspended for four months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport for his illegal transfer to Evian in 2011, while Kassim Abdallah is unavailable following his red card against Saint Etienne.
  • Mathieu Duhamel will not feature against his parent club this weekend, as reportedly agreed by both clubs, which may benefit Nicolas Blandi.
  • Pascal Dupraz is short of options at the back and should recall on Jesper Juelsgaard, Aldo Angoula and Alioune Fall this weekend.

Prediction

  • As hoped, le Stade Malherbe de Caen managed to secure their safety in Ligue 1 before the reception of 18th-placed Evian for what might have been a breathtaking playoff against relegation this weekend. This achievement is a result of an astonishing second half of the season from Patrice Garande's men, who have collected twice as many points since the turn of the year than they had before the winter break.
  • After four decent years spent in France's top-tier with one of the smallest budgets in the division, l'Évian Thonon Gaillard Football Club will not avoid the drop this time following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Saint Etienne. Several players will leave the club in the upcoming weeks and it remains to be seen whether Pascal Dupraz will be the one to attempt a top-flight return next year.
  • This will be a difficult match to handle for the visitors as they travel to a joyous Caen side on Saturday evening, who will aim to end this season on a high note in front of a full crowd at the Stade Michel d'Ornano for what might be N'Golo Kanté's last match for the club.
