Caen vs Dunkerque prediction and betting tips on February 10, 2025
Game Prediction
The 22nd round of the French Ligue 2 will feature a match between Caen and Dunkerque on February 10, 2025. The visitors are fighting for direct promotion to the top division, and anything other than a convincing victory over one of the league’s outsiders would be a failure.
Our Prediction for Caen vs Dunkerque
The "Vikings" spent five consecutive seasons in Ligue 1 in the last decade. However, after relegation, they became a mid-table team in the second division. Last season, they fell just one point short of securing a playoff spot for promotion, finishing sixth with 58 points. The "Seafarers" spent the 2022/2023 season in the third division but managed to return immediately, finishing 16th with 46 points.
Now, they are delivering a real sensation. Luís Castro’s team hasn’t just improved—they might even win the league title. In January, they failed to win three matches in a row but then secured an away victory against Annecy. They later lost to Martigues, possibly saving energy for the cup, where they sensationally knocked out Lille on penalties. The "Red and Blues" had a few decent spells but have generally struggled, and during the winter, they lost match after match. Troyes even crushed them 3-0.
The home team scores almost one goal per round—0.9 on average. That is already a poor number, but they also concede at a much higher rate—1.52 per match. One of the league’s leaders, Dunkerque, manages to score 1.5 goals per game, although they also concede 1.19.
