Le Havre AC's Struggles
Le Havre AC is currently enduring a challenging season in Ligue 1, sitting precariously at the 17th position with only 13 points from 18 matches. Their recent form has been particularly concerning, with no wins in their last seven games and a streak of five matches without scoring a single goal. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 37 goals, and their offensive output has been equally disappointing, with just 14 goals scored. Injuries and suspensions have further compounded their woes, leaving them with a depleted squad. Despite playing at home at the Stade Océane, Le Havre has failed to capitalize on home advantage, with a record of 2 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses.
Angers SCO's Resurgence
In contrast, Angers SCO has been making significant strides since their promotion back to Ligue 1. Currently positioned 13th in the table, Angers has shown resilience and determination. They have secured 9 wins this season and have been particularly strong away from home, with a winning streak of three matches. Key players like Lepaul and Ibrahima Niane have been instrumental, contributing crucial goals. Despite a recent transfer ban, Angers has maintained a competitive edge, focusing on youth development and strategic leadership under coach Alexandre Dujeux.
Head-to-Head Dynamics
Historically, Le Havre has had the upper hand when playing at home against Angers, winning 8 out of the last 11 encounters. However, recent meetings have been more balanced, with Angers winning 2 of the last 5 matches against Le Havre. The most common result between these teams is a 0-0 draw, which has occurred five times. Both teams tend to score late in matches, with a significant percentage of their goals coming between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Prediction and Conclusion
Given the current form and recent performances, Angers SCO appears to have the upper hand in this matchup. Le Havre's inability to score in recent games and their defensive vulnerabilities make them susceptible to Angers' attacking prowess. While Le Havre has a historical advantage at home, Angers' current form and away winning streak suggest they are likely to secure a victory. Therefore, the prediction leans towards an 'away' win for Angers SCO, with both teams unlikely to score.
