Le Havre form and stats

Le Havre have played 11 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-6-3 (wins-draws-losses). With seven home Ligue 2 games in a row without a win, the Havre fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Pau game long ago, can be stopped today. Havre are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.

Havre drew their last game, also a home match. Nancy (placed 17th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Before that, Havre played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Niort.

A painful moment in the game against Nancy was the missed penalty kick from Jamal Thiaré in the 41st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Havre aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Océane in the league, with only 8 goals from 11 games. From these home matches, Havre have conceded only 10 goals.

Paris form and stats

4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Paris playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season.

Paris's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Niort that finished 3-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Nancy that ended 1-1.

Drawing 3-3 against Niort after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager R. Girard needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Paris, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Paris has another fixture away, a Coupe de France game, against Lorient in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Paris find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Paris have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Paris - Havre 3-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Le Havre won three games, two matches ended with a draw and Paris has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
