Le Havre form and stats

With {3 Ligue 2 wins}, 8 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Le Havre, who have the fewest scored goals (13) at home in Ligue 2, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Le Havre, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A strong away win for Le Havre against Valenciennes the last match, as Jamal Thiaré, Khalid Boutaïb, Mamadou Fofana and Romain Basque (2) were on target. Ahead of that match, Havre lost 0-1 at home to Toulouse.

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 goals haven't exactly been flowing for Havre here at Stade Océane in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (13 from 18 games). Havre have conceded 21 in these home matches.
