Team News

Le Havre
Brest
  • Le Havre hosts Brest at Stade Océane, desperate to end a seven-match winless streak that has left them languishing in 17th place, four points from safety.
  • A 1-1 draw against Reims in their last outing stopped a run of six consecutive defeats, but Didier Digard’s side remains in trouble. Scoring has been a significant issue, with Le Havre netting just 14 goals this season, the fewest in Ligue 1 while conceding 37.
  • Despite their struggles, the team has shown some signs of improvement, scoring in three consecutive league matches. Defensive leader Gautier Lloris will be key as Le Havre looks to overcome their poor home form, which has seen seven losses in nine games at Stade Océane.
  • Le Havre must find cohesion and resilience to earn a crucial result in their fight against relegation.
  • Currently 9th in Ligue 1, Brest comes into this match from a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Rennes in the league. They also had a more complicated outing in the Champions League midweek, losing 2-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk, as they are in a solid position to qualify for the next stage of the competition.
  • Under Éric Roy’s management, Brest has been a well-organised and resilient side. Their attack has made key contributions, and their defensive structure has kept them competitive both domestically and in Europe.
  • With no major recent injury concerns reported, Roy has the luxury of fielding a strong squad to take advantage of Le Havre’s ongoing struggles. Brest will see this as a prime opportunity to claim important away points and maintain their positive momentum in the league.

Prediction

  • Stade Brestois's 2-0 defeat against Shakhtar in Europe may have hindered their spectacular run in Europe, but it provides the team with a clear opportunity to shift their attention back to their domestic campaign. Brest has enjoyed a solid start to 2025, and manager Éric Roy will be keen for his team to continue building on their recent good form in Ligue 1, sitting comfortably in mid-table.
  • Le Havre, by contrast, is embroiled in a relegation battle, sitting 17th and winless in their last seven matches. The team has struggled all season, scoring just 14 goals—the fewest in Ligue 1—and their home form has been poor. Didier Digard's side has lacked both the offensive firepower and defensive solidity required to stay competitive at this level, and they seem ill-equipped to cope with the challenges of Ligue 1.
  • Brest has been incredibly disciplined and solid under Roy's guidance. With key players fit and firing, they will see this fixture as a perfect opportunity to secure three valuable points and continue their push for a top-half finish. Le Havre's problems seem too deep to turn things around in a single match, and Brest will aim to exploit the home side's vulnerabilities from the first whistle.
