Week 33 brings us a match on Apr 16th, where Le Havre and Valenciennes will play a match in Valenciennes in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which is great football weather. 15th placed Valenciennes is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Auxerre. Théo Pellenard scored the first goal for Auxerre in the 8th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Valenciennes was frustrated by Auxerre’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Auxerre ended the match with the shutout victory. Valenciennes is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while le Havre sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Dunkerque. Abdelli scored the first goal for Le Havre in the 19th minute, then Marco Majouga tied it up for Dunkerque in the 71st minute. Le Havre looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Le Havre and Valenciennes battled to a 0-0 draw. Le Havre had 8 on net, and Valenciennes had 3, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,.
Le Havre is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Matthis Abline and Himad Abdelli each having 2 goals in their last five. Ntim and Aymen Boutoutaou are the top scorers for Valenciennes in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
