Le Havre vs Reims Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• These two sides faced off against each other in Ligue 1 action for the first time last season, and Reims definitely came out on top. They defeated Le Havre both home and away and even won at the Stade Oceane despite being reduced to ten men.
• Le Havre picked up a vital win over bottom-side Montpellier last weekend. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Les Ciel et Marine, and saw them score their first goal since September 22.
• Reims are actually on a really bad run of form right now, having lost their last three matches in a row. Most recently, they slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Toulouse thanks to a late goal. Before those three losses, they'd gone six unbeaten.
• With just eight goals scored thus far, Le Havre are Ligue 1's joint-lowest scoring side, with bottom team Montpellier producing the same number as them thus far.
• Despite only starting eight of Reims' ten games, midfielder Yaya Fofana has already been booked four times, putting him at joint-top of Ligue 1's disciplinary list.

Le Havre vs Reims Prediction

While Reims sit far ahead of Le Havre in the league table right now, the away side's recent slump means that this match could be tougher to call than it initially appears.

Despite Reims' three-game losing streak, though, they may still have enough to get a positive result here. They haven't been losing badly in any of their games, going down by one goal in all three defeats.

Le Havre, meanwhile, have struggled in front of goal all season, and while they did beat Montpellier last weekend, Montpellier's defensive record is appalling.

With this in mind, this should be a tight game that we expect Reims to edge narrowly.

Prediction: Le Havre 0-1 Reims
