Claim Welcome BonusLe Havre
Le Havre comes 17th, coached by Didier Digard, with the miserable statistics of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 13 losses on record. Their recent trend is pretty bad, too, as they are winless in the last seven matches, having 0W, 1D, and 6L, failing to win at home in the last four games.
Their last outing was a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Reims, with the captain Arouna Sangante netting the equalizer. The tough fight notwithstanding, Le Havre managed just 2 shots on target while holding 45% possession. They have remained fragile at the back, conceding first in six of their last seven matches, while their attack has often lacked creativity.
But if Le Havre hopes to upset Brest, they need better final third efficiency and, most importantly, a much more disciplined defensive structure.
Key Stats:
No wins in 7 games
Conceded 7 consecutive matches
Under 4.5 cards in the last 5 games
Stade Brest
Under manager Eric Roy, Stade Brest is having a pretty decent season, lying 9th with a balanced record of 8 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses. Though Brest lost their last outing 2-0 to Shakhtar Donetsk, they reached a historic milestone of advancing into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in their history-a good indication of their growing ambition.
Domestically, Brest has been inconsistent, winning 3 of their last 5 matches but losing two. On the road, inconsistency has been a recurring theme with a 2W, 3L away record in their last five games. Recent Ligue 1 streaks by Brest highlight a team that can start hot.
Though at times the Brest defense has been a bit erratic, the attack is sharp. A win here will help them get confident in balancing European and league ambitions.
Key Stats:-
Scored first in 6 of the last 8 games
Led at halftime in 6 of the last 8 games
Conceded in 5 straight matches
