Le Havre form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Ligue 2. In general it has been a productive period now for Havre as they haven't lost any of their last 17 games.

Impressive finishing from Cornette secured the home win 3-1 against Nimes in their previous game. It's hard not to mention Cornette's lethal finishing against Nimes. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Lekhal got a match rating of 7.71 in that game, top player of the team. Lekhal hit one key pass and had 48 successful passes (of 58 total).

Before that, Le Havre secured a home win against Sochaux with the score 1-0.

Few goals the story here? 10 of this club's latest 12 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.

The schedule is very tough for Le Havre now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 2 game at Bordeaux is waiting in only three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Havre have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. The Le Havre defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({3 goals} in 9 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
