Le Havre enter this match searching for a desperate spark to reignite their campaign after a dismal run of results.
Didier Digard’s team has gone five games without a win, most recently falling 3-2 to Paris FC just before the international break.
Le Havre and Auxerre have played first-half draws in their last three encounters.
Despite that slump, they still hold a five-point cushion above the relegation zone, giving them some breathing room.
The break offered Digard’s side a chance to reset, particularly in attack, where they have struggled badly, scoring just 22 goals.
Home form has also been a key strength, with three of their six league wins coming on their own ground and just one defeat.
Le Havre have a good record against Auxerre, having won four of their last five meetings against them across all competitions.
For Auxerre, the situation is more urgent, as they are in a relegation battle, five points from safety.
They need wins quickly, and their latest result, a 3-0 victory over Brest despite going down to 10 men early, will provide a significant boost.
That result gives them hope of securing consecutive league wins for the first time since April 2025.
However, their away form remains a major concern, with just seven points collected on the road this season.
