Le Havre form and stats

Le Havre have less points than they have played home games in the Ligue 2 so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Havre have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

A good away victory last time out for Le Havre, who won 6-0 against Saint-Étienne (placed 20th). Sweet to taste a league win after three matches without one. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Le Havre played a great game against Saint-Étienne and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Operi was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.95 out of 10. The defender Operi scored two goals and won 5 of 8 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Pau.

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 Le Havre as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Havre has won 4 of these, drawn 7 and lost 3.

The manager Elsner will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Laval in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Le Havre's 2 home games: 1 goal, 1 conceded.

Amiens SC form and stats

Amiens SC are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 2, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Amiens SC go into this game after a win, the home game against Bastia that ended 3-1. Midfielder Fofana was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.25. Fofana scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Sochaux.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Amiens SC playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Amiens SC wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats.

After this away game Amiens return home for a Ligue 2 game against Paris. That game is only three sleeps after this.
