Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Le Havre in 9th and Guingamp in 7th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Le Havre form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Le Havre have managed 1 win, 4 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games. Le Havre have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Le Havre's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Dunkerque. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sochaux (0-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Le Havre have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 3 Lost 1.

The manager P. Le Guen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rodez in only four days.

Le Havre are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 attempts. On the other hand, Le Havre have conceded 6 goals.

Guingamp form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 2 matches, Guingamp, who have the most scored goals (23) in Ligue 2, have produced an overall stat of 2-2-2 so far.

Guingamp play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Lorient (placed 2nd). A draw for Guingamp before that, at their own venue hosting Ajaccio (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Guingamp in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Guingamp, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Guingamp are hosting Caen in the Ligue 2 only four days away.
