Where to watch: Auxerre v Le Havre — your guide for the Ligue 1 clash kicking off at 16:15 UK time today on Ligue 1 Pass.
Match Overview
Auxerre head into this fixture buoyed by a solid home record at Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps, where they have claimed crucial points against top-half opposition. Under Jean-Marc Furlan, the Burgundy side have shown resilience, with midfield maestro Gaëtan Charbonnier and winger Tristan Dingomé delivering consistent performances. Le Havre arrive in strong form themselves, sitting comfortably in the European qualification zone and boasting a stingy defence marshalled by center-back Gilles Sunu.
Both teams have enjoyed mixed runs of form, but they share a reputation for tactical discipline and quick transitional play. Auxerre’s high-press approach will test Le Havre’s backline, while the visitors will look to exploit spaces on the break through Mohamed Bayo’s pace. With only three points separating the sides in the Ligue 1 table, a win here carries significant stakes: Auxerre aim to climb into contention for a top-half finish, while Le Havre seek to consolidate their push for a European spot.
