[28251] TOTAL o2½-105 (1. FC KAISERSLAUTERN vrs 1. FC KOLN)
Both Koln and Kaiserslautern are vulnerable at the back. Lately Koln has started to develop an attacking side with eight goals in the past four matches. Kaiserslautern remains undefeated and sitting in third place will look to grab another 3 points on the road, which is very likely. However, with Kaiserslautern having injuries to their back line they will concede a goal as well meaning they will have to net at least two themselves to win which can be easily done against this Koln defense.
[28101] SM CAEN PKEV
[28101] TOTAL o2-120 (SM CAEN vrs AC ARLES-AVIGNON)
Arles likes to rely on their defensive play, but as of late their back line has been awful giving up six goals in the past two matches. This is where Caen will be able to take advantage as they have proven they are a good traveling squad. They have won four of the last five on the road receiving a draw in the only match they didn’t win. They have scored 2+ goals in their previous four on the road as well.
So with this dangerous counter attack and with their pace they should be able to create plenty of opportunities against this struggling defense. I like the Over in this match as well because Caen will have defensive problems because Wague is out again. They conceded twice without him last weekend, and will miss his presence.
[28114] DIJON FCO PK-135
Dijon will get back Remy and Mollet for this match, which add some fresh legs to this squad. They have been in the top five in the table but their points-per-game rate has been on the decline since a great start to the season, and need to gain momentum again. Djoin have managed to maintain their success at home as they are undefeated so far this season. Now Auxerre have been absolutely awful away from home this season. They have lost all FIVE of their away matches, and they have conceded 13 goals in just 5 matches on the road that is the worst differential in the league.
With both coaches/teams under pressure, avoiding defeat will be the plan. I just can’t see Auxerre managing that given how they’re playing at the moment. Also with Dijon trying to regain form this is a perfect spot to do just that.
