Le Havre – Auxerre

Le Havre host a struggling Auxerre in what promises to be a pivotal Ligue 1 encounter, with both sides hovering near the bottom of the table. The home side sit 16th with just two points from four games, having failed to win any match and conceding four goals while scoring twice. Auxerre sit one spot above them in 15th place, holding three points after a solitary victory and a heavy deficit of five goals for and eleven against. With only a single point separating the two, the fixture could prove decisive in the early fight to avoid relegation, and the recent head‑to‑head record offers little comfort for either side. Both clubs will be desperate to snap their winless runs and climb out of the danger zone.
