Le Havre form and stats

The complete Ligue 2 stats at home this season for Le Havre are 5-5-6 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Le Havre are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Havre lost their last game at Pau (placed 8th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The attacker Abline was declared "man of the match" for Le Havre with a rating of 7.54/10. Abline scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Caen that was lost 2-4.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Le Havre have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.

Havre have scored 14 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot.

Dunkerque form and stats

Dunkerque have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 3-1-11 (15 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Dunkerque in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Nîmes.

Dunkerque play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Caen (placed 6th). Ba was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.3. The defender Ba won 8 of 9 duels.

A loss against Valenciennes was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Dunkerque have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were three victories, three draws and ten defeats.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Dunkerque rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.
