On the 21st of December, Auxerre will play host to Le Havre in a meeting of these two closely matched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only -1 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Auxerre sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Dunkerque. Mathias Autret scored the first goal for Auxerre in the 54th minute, then Hamza Sakhi added another in the 84th minute on a feed from Gaëtan Perrin In the end, Dunkerque was frustrated by Auxerre’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Auxerre ended the match with the shutout victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Auxerre should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, 6th placed Le Havre, recorded a 0-1 loss against Ajaccio. Gaëtan Courtet struck first for Ajaccio in the 85th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Le Havre couldn’t manage to score, and Ajaccio took the shutout win. Le Havre should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws apiece.
Nabil Alioui has been the most prolific scorer on Le Havre in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Auxerre is glad to have Mohamed Ben Fredj in top form. In the last 5 matches the midfielder has scored 5 goals.
