Angers’ current standing reflects a measure of improvement on last season’s narrow escape, having finished just three points above the relegation playoff spot upon their return to the top flight in 2024-25.
Alexandre Dujeux’s men enjoyed a productive spell towards the end of last year, but that momentum has since faded, with wins proving difficult to secure in 2026.
A string of disappointing results has highlighted their lack of attacking threat, and Angers come into this clash following a 2-1 defeat away to European hopefuls Rennes last weekend.
Le SCO have also failed to win any of their last three fixtures on their own turf, drawing blanks in each, though with six of their nine league victories coming on home soil, they will still take confidence into this matchup.
Le Havre arrive in a similar situation, still chasing a first win in seven matches, with only bottom-placed Metz enduring a longer winless run in the division.
Didier Digard’s side have shown resilience at times, picking up draws in key relegation clashes, yet converting those into maximum points remains a major issue.
Last time out, Le Havre played out a 1-1 draw at Nice, marking consecutive stalemates against fellow strugglers.
The Dean Club have struggled on their travels, registering just one win from 14 away league games this season and going nine without success, which raises doubts over their ability to claim all three points here.

Whispers predicts: Angers 0-0 Le Havre
With both teams struggling for form and lacking attacking efficiency, there is little to separate them, making a draw at 3.10 an appealing option.
Given the limited goal output on both sides, this fixture points towards a low-scoring contest, so under 2.5 goals at 1.57 looks solid, which also aligns with BTTS – No at 1.80.
Combining under 2.5 goals with BTTS – No provides added value at 2.00, while pairing a draw with under 2.5 goals increases the potential return to 3.60, and a first-half draw also looks appealing at 2.00.
> Total goals – Under 2.5 goals at 1.57 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 1.80 | Likelihood: Probable
> First-half draw – Yes at 2.00 | Likelihood: Possible
> Match result – Draw at 3.10| Likelihood: Possible
> Draw & under 2.5 goals at 3.60| Likelihood: Outsider
