Le Havre play host to Strasbourg in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Oceane this Sunday. Struggling Le Have currently sit in 17th place in the table, although a win here could lift them up to 12th, depending on other results.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, are one of the teams they could leapfrog. They sit in 14th, just two points ahead of their opponents this weekend.
So, which of these sides will come out on top?
Le Havre vs Strasbourg Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Le Havre's last match against Strasbourg saw them run out 3-1 winners at the Stade Oceane. However, their overall recent record against this weekend's opponents is poor, as they've lost four of their last six meetings.
- Last weekend saw Le Havre fall to Nice in a tough game, putting them on a run of back-to-back losses following a win over Nantes on November 24.
- Strasbourg's last game, meanwhile, saw them secure a 0-0 draw with Reims. While the game was hardly a good one for the neutral, it did snap a nasty four-match losing streak for Liam Rosenior's team.
- With just eleven goals scored to date, Le Havre are officially Ligue 1's least potent team in front of goal in 2024-25. Strasbourg have scored exactly double their number.
- Remarkably, Strasbourg's 0-0 draw with Reims last weekend was only the second game this season to see Liam Rosenior's side fail to find the net. Their other goalless game saw them fall to fellow strugglers Saint-Etienne.
Le Havre vs Strasbourg Prediction
Both of these sides have been struggling for form as of late, but it's probably fair to suggest that Le Havre might be in more trouble here.
Not only will they be missing several players due to injury this weekend, but they have also been in awful form in front of goal. They have only scored four goals since September 29.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, at least haven't struggled to score, outside of their 0-0 draw last weekend that is. Therefore, this game represents a chance for them to rediscover some form. The prediction is an away win.
Prediction: Le Havre 1-2 Strasbourg
