Le Havre vs Auxerre Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Le Havre vs Auxerre Game Preview

The Le Havre vs Auxerre betting odds still lean toward the hosts, even though Le Havre prop up the Ligue 1 standings heading into Sunday's kickoff at Stade CMA CGM Océane.

Didier Digard's side are still hunting a first league win. They have scraped together just two points, and a narrow loss at Lille last time out kept the drought rolling.

Will Still's Auxerre sit 16th in the standings. They arrive bruised, too, after getting thumped 4-1 at Rennes in their last league outing.

History favors the hosts. Le Havre are undefeated in 17 of their last 19 games against Auxerre in all competitions, and that run is the best thing they have going.

Le Havre vs Auxerre Recent Results

Le Havre have failed to win their last 6 games in Ligue 1, and volume is not the problem. This team crosses often and takes a lot of shots, but finishing has been its weakest trait. Mbwana Samatta is the busiest outlet up front, putting a shot on target in 5 of his last 6 outings in the league.

Auxerre's moneyline would have landed 4 times in their last 10 games against all opponents, which is more than Le Havre can claim. Their games rarely stay tidy, with over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 games. Cameron Archer headlines the attack, and this team thrives on through balls and comebacks.

Le Havre vs Auxerre Same Game Parlay

Our Le Havre vs Auxerre same game parlay picks lean on Auxerre's attack and a wide-open afternoon: Cameron Archer to score, Danny Namaso on target, over 3.5 goals and both teams scoring.

Cameron Archer has found the net in each of his last 4 Ligue 1 outings. He leads the line for Auxerre, and a Le Havre back line prone to individual errors invites him in.

Danny Namaso has tested the goalkeeper in 5 of his previous 6 Ligue 1 games. Auxerre love through balls and long shots, and he sits right behind the striker.

Over 3.5 goals has hit in 4 of Auxerre's last 6 games. Their back line is thinned by injuries, and Le Havre take a lot of shots, so this leg is live.

Both teams have scored in 5 of Auxerre's last 6 games. Auxerre are strong at coming back from losing positions, so an early Le Havre goal does not kill this leg.

Le Havre vs Auxerre Talking Points

Will Still took over Auxerre on a two-year contract ahead of this Ligue 1 season, and he is talking big, saying "there are no limits to our ambitions at Auxerre." He also admitted "you have to be realistic," and realistic means beating the team at the bottom of the standings. Cameron Archer, on a season-long loan from Southampton, is the reason Auxerre can dream. On the other bench, Didier Digard signed a contract extension in June 2026 after keeping Le Havre in the French top flight, but that goodwill fades fast without a win, and his team's aggressive, ball-winning style has to start turning into points.
