Auxerre vs Le Havre prediction: Significant home victory awaits the Parisians
Key stats
- Auxerre are winless in three consecutive Ligue 1 fixtures (D1, L2).
- The hosts have conceded exactly twice in four of their last five games.
- Le Havre are without a victory in five games since the end of August.
- Didier Digard is yet to lose a managerial H2H against Auxerre in three meetings.
Correct score prediction: Auxerre 1-1 Le Havre
Auxerre displayed courage to come from behind against Rennes and grab a crucial point, thanks to Lassine Sinayoko’s late penalty. That result marked their first draw in what has been a shaky start to their season, with only two wins to their name so far after eight rounds.
While Christophe Pelissier’s men sit in 14th position, Le Havre a point behind them inside the drop zone. Didier Digard has struggled to get his side in shape, and a victory is the need of the hour in the away camp.
Both sides are in contentious form – expect this one to result in a closely-fought draw at Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps.
