Command Analysis
Le Havre
Current form
The Le Havre club is performing abominably in Ligue 1 and is still the only one who has not felt the taste of victory. The team is trudging in the basement of the standings and takes the last place with two points in the asset. The gap from the saving line is four points, and it will be very difficult to win back such a gap, since the game does not go from the word at all, and the club does not shine with results – only four goals were scored.
In the last game, Didier Digard's team was defeated by Lille. The outcome of the match was decided by a single missed goal in the fifth minute. Earlier, the heavenly ones could not cope with Toulouse (2:3), where all five goals were recorded in the second half.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Mpasi-Nzo, Zagadu, Mambimbi, Pembele and Gelert, as well as the suspended Sekou, will miss the game.
Interesting betting trends
Le Havre has been scoring 0.6 goals per game since the start of Ligue 1
The Heavenly Ones have not lost to Auxerre in four consecutive matches
Approximate composition: Gallon – Uziad, Sasso, Tuba, M. Ndiaye – Ebonog, R. Ndiaye, Richardson – Nakamura, Maja, Samatta.
Auxerre
Current form
In the last round Auxerre suffered its fourth defeat since the start of the French championship. Renn became the next offender. The first half was held in an equal struggle and ended with a score of 1:1, but in the second half the Burgundians failed, conceded three goals and lost 1-4 in the end. Defensively, the game of Will Steele's players does not go beyond the word at all, his team is the most conceding in Ligue 1 – 16 goals in six rounds.
Auxerre occupies a saving 15th place in the standings with six points in the asset and is ahead of the danger zone in additional indicators. The fight for survival and maintaining a place in the elite is ahead, and much more can change, but the main thing is not to fail at the start and finish the first round in the middle of the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fofana, Oko, Siwe, Mandeng, Diousse and Senaya will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
Auxerre has been conceding 2.7 goals on average since the start of the season.
The team scores at least one goal in four consecutive games in Le Havre.
The bookmakers have put up a good odds that Le Havre and Auxerre will be different today. The Burgundians look more powerful in attack - they scored eight goals, and in the last seven face-to-face games out of ten, there was an exchange of goals. But Digar's players have scored only four goals, but in the last three rounds out of five, the club both scored and conceded. The teams continue to fight for survival, so we see an open confrontation with the exchange of balls.
The betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.70
Both teams understand that a draw in today's match is better than a defeat. Le Havre's coaching staff will rely on aggressive pressure, and such tactics can work with Auxerre's disorganized defense. Given all the circumstances of the unsuccessful start in Ligue 1, it is unlikely that any of the opponents will take risks and, most likely, will focus on ball control and a minimum of mistakes. The heavenly ones ended their last home match with a goalless draw, and we believe that today we will have a boring match that will end in a world match.
The betting tip is a draw with a coefficient of 3.40
Betting on corners
Le Havre will play boldly in attack and will probably spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal, but Auxerre will be in charge. In the last three face-to-face games, at least ten corner kicks were served out of six opponents, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
