Auxerre vs Le Havre Prediction & Betting Tips (26 October)

Beaten before the break by PSG 2-0 and Lens 1-2, Auxerre saved the furniture last weekend by coming back to score at Rennes 2-2. However, AJA remains stuck in a series of 3 matches without a victory, with 12 goals conceded over the first 8 days. The Icaunais club ranks virtually 14th and is ahead of the virtual play-off team by one point. The last of his 2 successes in the Championship dates back to September 21, against Toulouse 1-0.

 Le Havre, 16th and virtual play-off, is also one of the Ligue 1 teams seeking victory for many weeks. Two months have passed since the only one obtained, then against Nice 3-1. The Ciel et Marine were cut off by the international break on sharing points with Lorient 1-1, Metz 0-0 and Rennes 2-2 and have just sunk at the Stade Vélodrome against Olympique de Marseille 6-2. 

The Auxerre group is once again formed without the young defender Siwe who will still be absent for several weeks. In the same position, executive Diomandé (no match), in the recovery phase, should apply for a return. Scorers in Rennes, Namaso (2 goals in Ligue 1) and Sinayoko (3 goals) will be closely monitored by the defense. Further down, Sierralta, Mensah and Danois should retain their place in the starting lineup.

Le Havre coach Didier Digard deplores the absence of his defensive executive Lloris, excluded from Marseille and suspended, while full-back Delaine (replacement) and attacking midfielder Khadra (2 matches) are uncertain. There is less experience in the Le Havre squad but the Norman club can rely on its captain Soumaré (3 goals), Touré and even Kechta. The last two cities scored in Marseille.
