Paris FC come into this match as strong favorites against struggling Caen.

With their main top-four rivals Guingamp, Metz, and Lorient all picking up wins over the weekend, Paris FC now face a must-win situation. The gap to the top two, which guarantees direct promotion, currently stands at four points. A victory here against bottom-placed Caen would significantly narrow that margin and keep them firmly in the race.

As for Caen, they sit at the foot of the table and are only mathematically still in the league. With seven matches remaining and a daunting 13-point gap separating them from safety, survival looks increasingly unlikely at this stage.
