Toulouse and Le Havre will both be searching for their first Ligue 1 victory of the 2026-27 campaign when they meet at the Stadium de Toulouse on Saturday evening, with neither side able to turn four matches into three points so far.
The hosts have picked up two draws and two defeats since the new season began, while Le Havre have followed the same record, leaving both teams in the lower reaches of the early standings after four rounds.
Toulouse will therefore see this as an opportunity to finally put some distance between themselves and the relegation places, although Le Havre arrive with a similar need to find a result after being held to a goalless draw by Angers last time out.

Toulouse's early-season struggles have left them facing an unwanted wait for their first victory under Jens Berthel Askou, although their latest outing at least showed some fight as they recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Lorient.
That comeback did little to disguise the wider problems at the start of the campaign, as Les Violets have conceded multiple goals in three of their four matches while also collecting just two points from their opening fixtures.
Toulouse have also been unusually vulnerable at home, suffering defeat in both league matches at the Stadium de Toulouse so far after avoiding consecutive home losses throughout the whole of last season.
There has nevertheless been a positive trend in this fixture, as Toulouse have avoided defeat in their last two home Ligue 1 meetings with Le Havre and kept clean sheets in both encounters.
Le Havre have endured an equally frustrating beginning, with last weekend’s goalless draw against Angers extending their wait for a first league win of the season.
Didier Digard's side have generally remained competitive in recent away fixtures, with their current unbeaten run on the road stretching to five matches in Ligue 1 after a 1-1 draw at Lyon in their last travel.
That resilience has not translated into many victories, however, with Le Havre managing only one success across their last 16 top-flight matches.
Their attacking output has also been limited, with just two goals scored across the opening four league games after they finished last season as the joint second-lowest-scoring team in Ligue 1 with 32 goals.

Whispers predicts: Toulouse 1-1 Le Havre
Neither side has shown enough attacking confidence to make a high-scoring outcome the obvious expectation, so Toulouse or draw & under 3.5 goals at 1.73 (8/11) looks an appealing combination for a closely fought encounter.
The opening stages could be particularly cagey as both teams look to avoid another difficult start, making the half-time draw at 2.25 (5/4) worth considering before the game potentially opens up after the interval.
While Toulouse and Le Havre have not produced much attacking consistency in the early weeks of the campaign, both sides have shown vulnerabilities at the back in different circumstances, which keeps both teams to score at 1.91 (10/11) in contention.
A 1-1 draw at 7.00 (6/1) therefore provides an attractive outsider option, with the lack of confidence in front of goal potentially cancelling out the attacking shortcomings of both teams.
> Toulouse or draw & under 3.5 goals | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 1.91 | Likelihood: Possible
> Half-time draw at 2.25 (5/4) | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score – Toulouse 1-1 Le Havre at 7.00 | Likelihood: Outsider
