Team News

Le Havre
Nice
  • Arouna Sanganté returns from suspension and will provide a significant boost to Le Havre’s defense after their impressive win against Lille last week.
  • Didier Digard is likely to stick with the same starting XI that secured victory over Lille, with Ahmed Hassan leading the line and Issa Soumaré operating on the left wing.
  • However, the team remains without long-term absentees Abdoulaye Touré, Élysée Logbo, Fodé Ballo-Touré, Emmanuel Sabbi, Daler Kuzyaev, and Antoine Joujou.
  • With both Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Hicham Boudaoui suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards, Nice will have to make key adjustments to their lineup.
  • In Ndayishimiye’s absence, Melvin Bard is expected to slot in as a centre-back, similar to his role earlier in the season, with Ali Abdi taking over on the left flank.
  • Meanwhile, with Boudaoui also unavailable, Mohamed Abdelmonem will likely be Franck Haise’s choice to step into the midfield.

Prediction

  • Le Havre comes into the match with renewed confidence after a surprising 2-1 victory over Lille, though they remain 17th in the table with 17 points.
  • Nice, currently 3rd with 37 points, secured a 2-0 win over Lens in their last match but has shown inconsistency away from home.
  • In their previous meeting in December 2024, Nice edged out Le Havre 2-1. Le Havre will be boosted by the return of Arouna Sanganté from suspension, while still missing several long-term absentees including Abdoulaye Touré, Élysée Logbo, and Daler Kuzyaev.
  • Nice faces a challenge with both Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Hicham Boudaoui suspended due to yellow card accumulations, affecting their midfield depth.
  • Given Le Havre’s recent form and Nice’s key absences, this encounter is likely to be tightly contested.
