Havre AC

After a losing effort in their last game against Marseille in Ligue 1 competition, Havre AC and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Havre AC had 46% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Havre AC was Issa Soumaré (66'). Marseille had 22 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Amine Gouiri (56', 99') and Mason Greenwood (85') scored for Marseille.

Over the course of their last half-dozen outings, Havre AC have amassed a tally of 8 goals. Havre AC have also scored in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, they’ve seen 12 goals go against them. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Ahead of this clash, Havre AC have left without a victory over Strasbourg in away games against them for the last 6 league matches. Not good at all.

ℹ️ Team News: Strasbourg

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Strasbourg gaffer Liam Rosenior to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Moïse Sahi Dion (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out.

We think that Le Racing look set to go for a 3-4-2-1 system and select Djordje Petrovic, Guela Doue, Mamadou Sarr, Ismael Doukoure, Dilane Bakwa, Andrey Santos, Valentin Barco, Diego Moreira, Habib Diarra, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw and Felix Lemarechal.

📋 Team News: Havre AC

Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Havre AC gaffer Didier Digard to contend with. Elysée Logbo (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Le club doyen appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation using Mathieu Gorgelin, Loic Nego, E. Youte Kinkoue, Arouna Sangante, Fode Ballo-Toure, Abdoulaye Toure, Junior Mwanga, Josue Casimir, Yassine Kechta, Issa Soumare and Andre Ayew.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Havre AC are likely to put one past this Strasbourg lineup, although that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Strasbourg at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
