Le Havre form and stats
2 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Le Havre have to build on here at Stade Océane in the Ligue 2. Two draws in a row at home now for Le Havre.
Havre faced defeat in their previous match, away at Toulouse (3-4). In the match before that, Havre hosted Clermont and drew the game 0-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The defeat against Toulouse was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored eight minutes into stoppage time (by S. Spierings).
This is expected to be a close game, with Havre perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Rodez form and stats
There's been little loot from Rodez's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Ligue 2. Rodez, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) in Ligue 2, only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Rodez, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Dunkerque game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
