Each team's lineup is based on their previous match in this tournament.

Le Havre

The team secured their 4th win of the current Ligue 1 season (8 losses) by defeating Nantes 2-0 in the last round. This victory allowed Didier Digard's side to climb out of the relegation zone, moving up to 14th place in the French championship standings. Notably, Le Havre is the only club in the current Ligue 1 season that has not drawn a match. It's also important to mention that the team has the worst scoring record in this championship, having scored only 10 goals.

• Le Havre's uncompromising streak in Ligue 1 stands at 15 matches (5 wins, 10 losses).
• One opponent has failed to score in 7 of the club's matches in this tournament.
• At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of the team's last 8 home matches in the championship.

Angers

After a 4-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 (2 wins, 2 draws), Angers suffered their second consecutive defeat in this tournament, losing 0-1 to Auxerre in the last round. As a result, the team has dropped back into the relegation zone in the championship standings, falling to 17th place. They are now 2 points behind Le Havre. Additionally, Angers' 9-match scoring streak in the elite French league was halted in the match against Auxerre.

• Both teams scored in 8 of Angers' last 10 matches in the French championship.
• The club has not lost in 4 of their last 5 away matches in Ligue 1 (1 win, 3 draws).
• No more than 2 goals have been scored in Angers' last 7 away matches in the elite French division.

Le Havre vs. Angers: Match Prediction

The upcoming match is crucial for both teams in their battle to stay in Ligue 1. I disagree with the bookmakers on the favorite for this match. Le Havre is struggling this season, and I see no progress in their game. Didier Digard's team justifiably ranks last in the list of the tournament's most productive teams, creating very few chances in front of the opponents' goal. On the other hand, Angers has improved as the season progressed, excelling in recent times, especially in attack, having scored in 9 of their last 10 league matches.

Moreover, Angers has shown resilience on the road, and despite a disappointing defeat to an in-form Auxerre in the last round, they had not lost away in 4 Ligue 1 matches. Le Havre, meanwhile, has lost 8 of their last 11 home matches in the French championship (3 wins).

Therefore, I believe the visitors will earn points in the upcoming match. My prediction: Angers to win or draw
