Caen were one of the teams that constantly traveled between Ligue 1 and 2 in the 21st century. However, this season, it seems that the popular Vikings are on their way to the third tier. Right now, they are in 18th place with 15 points from 21 matches. There is still a lot of football to be played, but after losing seven consecutive league games, there are very few things to be optimistic about, and their survival chances look pretty slim. Considering they will mostly face teams from the upper half of the league's table in upcoming games, the forthcoming month could decide the faith of their season.
On the other hand, Dunkerque are playing a fantastic season. Last season, "the Seasiders" were one place above the relegation zone, and this season, they are among the promotion candidates as they sit in 4th place with 36 points and are only four points away from second place and direct promotion. But the highlight of their season was the last game as they eliminated Lille from the 1/8 Finals of the Coupe de France. It was a fantastic match where Lille had a 3:0 lead in the penalty shootout but eventually lost 7:6. Now, Dunkerque will surely be full of confidence ahead of their meeting with struggling Caen.
Caen vs Dunkerque pick: Dunkerque to (AH0) win
Caen are on a terrible streak, losing eight games in a row in all competitions. They even tried changing the coach before the New Year, but they only seemed worse after that change. The team has five losses under the new coach and a 1:8 goal difference. So, even scoring a goal against Dunkerque looks like a challenge.
Dunkerque are in good form, having won three (one after penalties) of their last four matches in all competitions. They have also been really great away from home, considering they lost just one out of the previous ten games. It seems pretty unrealistic they will now lose against out-of-form Caen.
In the first h2h game this season, Dunkerque easily won 3:1 at home. Now, considering all the above, we expect another win for the Seasiders.

Caen team news
Winger Kalifa Coulibaly will be unavailable as he will serve the last of his four-game suspension. He received a red card against Grenoble after just a few minutes in the game, but he hasn't been too important a part of the rotation, and his absence shouldn't be a big problem. Besides suspended Coulibaly, the team will also miss Diabe Bolumbu, who should remain sidelined with an injury.
