Bitesize Prediction: Paris FC vs Caen – 31/03/25

Competition: Ligue 2

Market: Paris FC win

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

Looking to move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots, Paris FC will welcome Caen to the capital on Monday night.

Starting with the hosts, heading into March’s international break with a 3-0 drumming away at Laval, Paris will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite that downbeat display last time out, Stephane Gilli’s men have their sights firmly set on securing an iconic Ligue 1 spot this season. Opening the weekend fixtures sat just two points adrift of climbing to the top of the table, Monday’s hosts have won six of their previous eight Ligue 2 appearances. Getting March underway with a sensational 3-2 victory against bitter promotion rivals Lorient, Paris have gained a reputation for their remarkable success on home soil. Including a 4-1 romp against Red Star on January 25th, Monday’s hosts have won each of their last five consultive Ligue 2 showdowns at the Stade Sebastien Charlety by an aggregate score of 12-4. Likewise, Gilli’s side have suffered just a single second-tier defeat on home soil since the middle of September.

As for the visitors, after only missing out on a play-off ticket last season by a one-point deficit, Caen opened the 2024/25 campaign regarded as a genuine top-five contender. However, last seen heading into March’s international break with a 2-1 defeat away at Amiens, Monday’s guests have broken a string of unwanted records this year and have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Remarkably opening the weekend fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table, the Vikings are sat 12 points adrift of Ligue 2 safety. Heading into Spain’s festive break with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Dunkerque, Caen have lost 12 of their previous 14 appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to November 30th. Hit with a routine 2-0 loss when they welcomed Paris to Normandy for their opening showdown back in August, Michel Der Zakarian’s side have a huge challenge on their hands here.
