Head-to-head statistics Auxerre - Havre
Auxerre Team Overview
🔵 Auxerre last tasted victory over a month ago, in the fifth round against Toulouse (1-0). Since then, they've managed just one point from three matches. These setbacks have left Christophe Pelissier's side languishing in 15th place, perilously close to the relegation zone. Notably, the "Blue and Whites" have a goal difference of -7, one of the worst in the league.
⚪ In their latest outing, Auxerre halted a two-game losing streak by drawing with Rennes (2-2). In that match, the "White and Blues" took the lead first but had to come from behind to secure a point. Despite being outperformed in nearly every statistical category, Auxerre can be satisfied with salvaging a draw.
Match Results: Auxerre
Havre Team Overview
🔵 It seems increasingly likely that this season will be a disappointing one for Le Havre, potentially resulting in their relegation from the top tier of French football. All signs point in that direction! Didier Digard's squad has managed just one victory in the league, which came in the third round against Nice (3-1). The rest of their results have been dismal, with three draws and four losses.
⚪ In their latest outing, Le Havre suffered a heavy defeat away to Marseille (2-6). Their defensive frailties were further exposed after Gauthier Lloris was sent off in the first half. From there, Digard's defense completely crumbled, resembling an open gate. As a result of this loss, Le Havre have slipped to 16th place.

Latest news
Auxerre
❌ The participation of Norwegian defender Fredrik Oppegard in the upcoming match is doubtful. He sustained an injury back in the fifth round against Toulouse and has been sidelined ever since. It's also unclear whether Lasso Coulibaly will be able to support the team. He played in the last round against Rennes, but his current form likely prevents him from staying on the field for the full 90 minutes.
Havre
🟥 Gauthier Lloris will miss the upcoming match due to suspension. In the last round against Marseille, he was sent off in the 34th minute with a straight red card.
❌ Le Havre have no injury concerns ahead of this fixture. All players available to the coaching staff are fully fit and ready to take the field.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The match will be officiated by Hakim Ben El Salem Hadj. Over the span of 100 matches, he averages 3.69 yellow cards per game with 26 fouls. In Ligue 1, across 8 matches, Auxerre average 2.5 yellow cards per game, while Le Havre average 1.9. Both teams tend to receive relatively few cautions, so we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 5.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The goal averages for our teams are quite high: Auxerre average 2.4 goals per game, and Le Havre average 3.3. Considering how crucial a positive result is for both sides in the upcoming clash, we recommend betting on total match goals over 2.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Over the last 8 Ligue 1 matches, Auxerre average 4.3 corners per game, while Le Havre average 3.8 in the same period. The teams haven't been frequent corner takers this season, so we are betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both teams are currently underperforming on the pitch, displaying rather basic football that often boils down to straightforward attacks. Their results are quite similar, so we're expecting a high-scoring draw in this matchup - a 1-1 result seems likely. Neither side has much to lose, so they should push forward and aim to collect points. In their last six head-to-head meetings, both teams have found the net, so we recommend betting on both teams to score.
