Auxerre vs Le Havre prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-25 16:15.
[p]While it may still be too early to call this a Ligue 1 relegation âsix-pointerâ, Auxerre and Le Havre will see this as a key game to win as both are desperate to move away from the lower reaches of the table.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Auxerre came from behind to grab a point against Rennes on Sunday (D 2-2) for their first draw of a Ligue 1 campaign (W2, L5) that already looks as if itâs going to be a season-long battle to avoid the drop, especially as theyâve exactly matched their eight-game start from 2022/23, when they did eventually go down. At least Auxerre fans are used to seeing their side score here, having recently become just the third team to net exactly once in eight consecutive Ligue 1 home games (W3, D1, L4). Defensive frailties persist though, as theyâve kept just two clean sheets in their last seven home league matches.[/p]
[p]Le Havre begin the round inside the bottom three, winless in their last five league matches (D3, L2), and last weekâs 6-2 hammering by high-flying Marseille saw them concede six times in a Ligue 1 game for the first time since November 1961! Despite that humbling, they sit just one point behind Auxerre so remain within touching distance of safety, although losing three of their four league away games this term (D1) offers supporters little encouragement as they head to Stade de l’AbbĂ©-Deschamps.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Le Havre have only lost one of the last seven H2Hs (W4, D2) and have won three of their last five games against Auxerre here (D1, L1).[/p]
