Havre vs Auxerre Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 18 October 2026
🔊 Le Havre have not won in Ligue 1 for five months: their last victory came on 17 May at Lorient, which kept them in the top flight. In the new season, Didier Digard's side have taken two points from six matches and sit bottom of the table. Their opponents offer some encouragement: Auxerre have conceded 16 goals - more than any other side in the division. But the visitors have striker Cameron Archer, who has scored in four consecutive matches. Which of the two runs will come to an end?
Head-to-Head
📊 Hosting Auxerre, Le Havre have lost just once in their last 12 head-to-head clashes. The home side also held firm on April 5: Lassine Sinayoko put the visitors ahead, but Simon Ebonog responded eight minutes later to make it 1-1. Earlier this season, Le Havre also claimed all three points in Auxerre, with Abdoulaye Touré scoring the only goal early in the second half.
Head-to-head statistics Havre - Auxerre
Le Havre: two disallowed goals and two red cards
Le Havre sit bottom of the league, though they could have more points than they do. VAR has gone against Didier Digard's side twice already. At home to Monaco, a goal by Amir Richardson was disallowed and Le Havre lost by a single goal. In Lyon, a Sota Nakamura strike was ruled out in stoppage time and the team had to settle for a point. In two other matches Le Havre were reduced to ten men following straight red cards and lost both - to Brest and to Lille.
Le Havre are not afraid to attack, but so far the chances are not translating into points. Against Lille they had 17 shots to their opponents' five, yet only two were on target, and Dylan Batwa's fifth-minute goal was enough for Lille to win. Digard put it down to the difference in luck between the top and bottom of the table, and described the red card shown to defender Ayumu Seko as very harsh.

Auxerre: 16 goals conceded and Archer’s run
Auxerre sit 16th and are four points ahead of Le Havre, though they have conceded more goals than any other side in the league. After three opening defeats, manager Will Still reinforced the centre of defence with an extra defender, and it worked initially - the team beat Nice and Brest. But away at Rennes the system broke down, ending in a 1-4 loss. Substitute Boulaye Dia scored twice in stoppage time. "We conceded five at Lens, three at Lyon - we can't let this become a habit," Still said after the match.
Auxerre's main attacking hope is Englishman Cameron Archer. The forward has been scoring week after week and accounts for half the team's goals. At Rennes it was he who equalised: goalkeeper Mamadou Diop launched Archer in behind with a goal kick, and he finished with his left foot off the post.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Fewer than four goals have been scored in 16 of Le Havre's last 17 home matches, and in 14 of their last 16 home head-to-head meetings with Auxerre. The hosts' attack is not set up for high-scoring affairs: Le Havre are joint-bottom with Troyes for goals scored. Auxerre themselves have scored more than once in Le Havre on only 1 of their last 12 visits. We're not expecting a fourth goal. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Le Havre have taken more than six corners in only 1 of their last 9 home Ligue 1 matches, and in only 1 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings with Auxerre. Over their last 10 official matches, Digard's side have taken 48 corners while their opponents have taken 53. Auxerre have had 63 corners taken against them over the same period, but at home Le Havre managed just four and five against Angers and Brest respectively. We're not expecting seven from the hosts. The bet is Le Havre Team Total Corners - Under 6.5.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Auxerre have received more than two yellow cards in only 1 of their last 9 matches. Over 10 official games, Still's side have collected 15 bookings, while Le Havre's opponents have been shown 16. Even against Rennes, who had 21 shots, Auxerre went without a card. Referee Éric Wattelier has not shown more than four yellow cards in a single Ligue 1 match this season. We're not expecting an excess from the visitors. The bet is Auxerre Team Total Yellow Cards - Under 2.5.
📌 Editorial Prediction
Auxerre have scored in 11 consecutive Ligue 1 matches. In 6 of their last 7 away games they have also conceded. Le Havre have scored just four times in their last six league rounds, but the worst defence in the division gives them a chance. On top of that, both teams have scored in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings. We're backing goals at both ends. Our bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
