Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Le Havre will be looking to build on their momentum from a solid 2-0 victory over St Etienne as they host Auxerre in Round 3 of Ligue 1. Christophe Pelissier's side will be confident, especially given their opponents' struggles on the road. Auxerre head into this match after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Nantes, which highlighted their vulnerability away from home.
However, Le Havre will need to manage without the likes of Andy Logbo, Yoni Gomis, and Christopher Operi due to injuries. On the other hand, Auxerre face their own challenges with Ado Onaiwu suspended, and Mensah, Camara, N’Gatta, and Akpa all sidelined through injury. Despite these absences, Le Havre's home advantage and Auxerre's poor traveling form suggest that the hosts are well-placed to secure all three points. Expect Le Havre to take control early and hold off an Auxerre side that have yet to find their rhythm this season.
