Preview

Match preview

Ligue 1 action resumes as 18th-placed Le Havre host 16th-placed Auxerre in a crucial clash near the bottom of the table. Both teams have endured difficult starts to the campaign, with Le Havre still searching for their first league victory after collecting two points from their opening six fixtures.

Auxerre enter the contest with six points, but their results have been heavily divided by venue. While they have achieved two home victories, their away record is poor, suffering three defeats from three outings while conceding 12 goals. Le Havre will look to exploit those road frailties, bolstered by a positive recent head-to-head record that has seen them remain unbeaten across the last four meetings between the clubs.

Squad depth will be tested on both sides due to several confirmed absences. Le Havre must cope without the suspended A. Seko alongside injured options including E. Jelert, T. Pembele, and A. Toure. Auxerre are similarly depleted, missing six players through injury, including S. Fofana and M. Senaya.

Confidence

Le Havre hold a solid head-to-head record against Auxerre, remaining unbeaten across their last four direct encounters with three victories and one draw. While Le Havre sit bottom of the standings with two points and have scored just one goal in three home games, Auxerre have struggled badly away from home. The visitors have lost all three road fixtures this season, conceding 12 goals at an average of four per game. With Auxerre missing key defenders including M. Senaya and B. Okoh through injury, Le Havre are well placed to secure at least a point on home soil.
