CaenDrawChartres
Caen and Chartres meet in Starligue action on 30 October 2026, with both sides occupying the lower half of the table after eight rounds. Caen sit eighth on 8 points, while Chartres are ninth with 7 points. The hosts have won three of their last five, but defensive frailty has cost them; the visitors arrive in better offensive form and will sense an opportunity to climb the standings.
Team form
Caen
Caen have been inconsistent. They beat St. Raphael 33–30 at home in early October but sandwiched that win between two heavy defeats: 23–38 to Limoges and 25–32 away to Provence Aix. A bright spot came on the road against Toulouse, where they won 32–31. Over their last five matches, Caen have scored 27.8 goals per game but conceded 31.0, a concerning gap that reflects a defence under pressure. They will need tighter discipline at the back if they are to trouble Chartres.
Chartres
Chartres have shown more balance recently. They won 27–24 at Dunkerque last time out and drew 35–35 at home to Chambery Savoie the week before. A loss to Toulouse (28–30) interrupted their run, but they have also beaten Creteil and Cesson Rennes-Metropole in their last five outings. Across those five games, Chartres averaged 30.6 goals scored against 28.0 conceded—a positive differential that suggests a side trending in the right direction. Their attack has been sharper than their hosts' in recent weeks.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these sides are on record, so there is no historical pattern to draw upon. Both teams approach this fixture on level ground in that respect.
Key factors
The decisive metric is defensive solidity. Caen's 31.0 goals conceded per game over five matches stands well above Chartres' 28.0. Conversely, Chartres' offensive output (30.6 per game) edges Caen's (27.8). Chartres also carry momentum: they have won two of their last three Starligue games, while Caen have won only one of their last three in the league. The visitors' ability to limit Caen's scoring opportunities while maintaining their own attacking rhythm will likely determine the outcome. Home advantage is a factor, but it is not enough to offset Chartres' current form advantage.
Prediction
The data points to a close encounter with a slight edge to the visitors. Chartres' superior recent form, better defensive record, and higher scoring average across the last five games suggest they are better equipped to handle Caen's home environment. Caen's defensive vulnerabilities—conceding over 31 goals per game—leave them exposed to a Chartres side that has averaged over 30 goals in the same period. While the hosts will have the crowd behind them, Chartres' consistency and balance make them marginally more likely to take the points.
Chartres are slight favourites to win this match. The visitors hold a narrow edge in form, defence, and attacking efficiency. Caen remain capable of competing at home, but their recent defensive struggles and lower scoring average suggest they will find it difficult to overcome a Chartres side that is playing with greater control. Expect a tight contest that could go either way, but the data favours the away side.
