Le Havre – Le Mans

Le Havre host a struggling Le Mans in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with both sides still searching for their first win of the campaign. The home side sit 16th with just two points from four games, having failed to find the net more than twice and conceding four, while Le Mans sit two places higher in 14th, three points from the same number of matches and a slightly better goal return of seven for eight against. Both clubs have only managed draws so far—Le Havre twice and Le Mans three times—so the encounter could easily turn another stalemate into a crucial three points for either side. A win for Le Havre would lift them out of the relegation zone, whereas a positive result for Le Mans would keep them just above the drop‑threatening cluster.
