Head-to-head statistics Strasbourg - Havre
Strasbourg Alsace Team Overview

Havre Team Overview
🔵 Le Havre had a rocky preseason, with their lack of victories in friendlies hinting at significant attacking issues. Under Didier Digard's guidance, the team lost their first two Ligue 1 matches. They were defeated by Monaco (1-3) and Lens (1-2).
⚪ There weren't any major transfer reinforcements expected, just a few minor, budget-free moves. Le Havre's financial struggles are well-known, adding extra pressure on the players. Despite this, the team rallied in the third round, securing a home victory against Nice (3-1). In that match, Le Havre had just 41% possession but managed to take eight shots on target.

Latest news
Strasbourg Alsace
📄 On the final day of the summer transfer window, Strasbourg managed to acquire three players. English defender Ben Chilwell joined the club as a free agent, having previously played for Chelsea. Midfielder Julio Enciso was signed from Brighton for €9.5 million. Forward Martial Godo made the move from Fulham for €7 million.
🟥 In the upcoming match against Le Havre, one of their key midfielders, Rabby Nzingula, will miss out after receiving a straight red card for unsportsmanlike conduct in the last game against Monaco.
❌ Due to injuries, Abakar Sylla and Saidu Sow will be unavailable for the upcoming match. The participation of Sebastian Nanasi and Andrew Omobamidele is uncertain; they have featured earlier this season but are currently undergoing assessments after sustaining injuries.
Havre
📄 Le Havre were active in the final days of the transfer window, securing loan deals for two players expected to bolster their midfield and attack. German midfielder Reda Khadra joined from Reims, while 20-year-old Chilean forward Damian Pizarro arrived from Udinese.
❌ Le Havre approach their match against Strasbourg with a full-strength squad. The club have no injury concerns in key positions, as confirmed by head coach Didier Digard during a press conference.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Willy Delajod. Over his last 100 games, he averages 3.95 yellow cards per match, with around 25 fouls. Strasbourg have averaged 1.8 yellow cards in their last 10 matches, while Le Havre have averaged 1.4. Given that the referee tends to show a moderate number of cards and both teams aren't particularly aggressive, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In this upcoming clash, neither team has much to lose; they realize they can and should secure points. This should lead to an attacking game with plenty of scoring opportunities. Therefore, we recommend betting on over 2.5 goals, especially as this aligns with the head-to-head statistics of these teams in recent years (the over 2.5 goals bet has won in their last five meetings).
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the current Ligue 1 season, Strasbourg have taken 15 corners (averaging 5 per game), while Le Havre have taken 11 (3.66 per game). Over their last 10 matches, the average number of corners per game for the hosts was 5.9, and for the visitors, it was 3.7. Considering all of this, we suggest betting on Strasbourg to win the corner count.
Editorial Prediction
Despite Le Havre's recent victory in the league, it's too early to say they've resolved all their issues in attack and defense. Strasbourg have delivered outstanding performances in each of their three matches this season, even in their loss to Monaco. Liam Rosenior's squad operates cohesively, like a well-oiled machine, and we believe they will secure a 2-1 win on home turf. The Racers' powerful and consistent attack has been firing on all cylinders this season, unlike Le Havre, so we recommend betting on a Strasbourg victory.
