Le Havre form and stats
2 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Le Havre have to build on here at Stade Océane in the Ligue 2. The home fans are hungry for more even though Havre have been steadily collecting points here at Stade Océane through three straight draws.
It's back home for Le Havre, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Chambly away with the result 1-0. Himad Abdelli found the net in that victory. Before that, Havre drew at home versus Rodez.
