On Saturday Mar 18th, Le Havre will play host to Saint-Étienne in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 2 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, Le Havre recorded a 1-1 draw against Metz. Youssef Maziz struck first for Metz in the 20th minute on a feed from Ablie Jallow, then Amir Richardson tied it up for Le Havre in the 46th minute earning Le Havre a comeback draw. Le Havre should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Saint-Étienne recorded a 1-1 draw against Amiens SC. Iron Gomis struck first for Amiens SC in the 57th minute on a feed from Sebastian Ring, but Niels Nkounkou got the equalizer for Saint-Étienne in the 76th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Saint-Étienne. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Saint-Étienne should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match together, in Stade Geoffroy-guichard, Le Havre was victorious by a score of 6 to 0. Sangante scored the first goal for Le Havre in the 51st minute, then Nabil Alioui added another in the 56th minute on a feed from Yann Kitala In the end, Saint-Étienne was frustrated by Le Havre’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Le Havre ended the match with the shutout victory.
Jean-Philippe Krasso has been the most effective weapon for Saint-Étienne lately. The attacker has netted 3 goals in his last 5 matches. Sangante has been the most prolific scorer on Le Havre in the last five matches with 2 goals.
