Le Havre form and stats
Le Havre have collected 16 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 4-4-1. Two draws in a row at home now for Le Havre.
Happy days for Havre in their previous game, a Ligue 2 match away at Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The forward Nabil Alioui won the honour of being "man of the match" for Havre with a rating of 7.61/10. Alioui scored one goal and hit one key pass.
A 0-0 draw away in the Coupe de France before that, with Chauvigny (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Le Havre perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Havre as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Le Havre has won five of these, drawn eight and lost three.
The Havre fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. Havre are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Océane in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 9 matches.
