Le Havre AC

Last updated: Tue 26 November 2019 07:46
In Brief

Le Havre are out of form and seeking to bounce back as they entertain Guingamp. Nine games without a win. Knocked out of Cup last weekend. Lekhal, Bonnet and Abdelli on sidelines. Kadewere returns.

Looking Back

Le Havre ended the last round of league games in ninth place in the Ligue 2 table on 19 points. They were top at the end of August but have not won in eight league outings since, taking just five points from a possible 24.

Paul Le Guen's side saw their winless run stretch to nine matches in all competitions as they were dumped out of the Coupe de France last weekend at the first hurdle, losing 3-1 at home to third-tier Dunkerque.

Looking Ahead

Le Havre welcome back Zimbabwean striker Tino Kadewere here. He has scored 12 league goals this season but injury kept him out of the Cup tie.

Algerian midfielder Victor Lekhal has been out since March with a serious knee injury. He is now set to step up his recovery by turning out for the reserves.

Himad Abdelli has been on the sidelines while the experienced Alexandre Bonnet is back in training after a dislocated shoulder but this game comes too soon for him.

Points of Interest

Le Havre lost 1-0 the last time they hosted Guingamp, back in January 2013.

In Brief

Guingamp lost to Lorient last weekend in the cup. Valdivia and Rodelin return along with four internationals. Caillard out, Poaty and Eboa Eboa in.

Looking Back

Guingamp were comprehensively defeated 3-0 by Lorient last weekend in the Coupe de France but went into the game with a significantly depleted squad.

While there was initially an improvement under Sylvain Didot, that has tailed off a little in recent times, with only one win in their last five.

Still possess impressive attacking potential and, indeed, have had more shots at goal than any other side in Ligue 2 to date.

Looking Ahead

Pierrick Valdivia and Ronny Rodelin are back in the squad after suspension, while four international players also return to the fold.

Morgan Poaty will be able to feature after a stomach bug, while Felix Eboa Eboa is back too.

Marc-Aurele Caillard, the No.1 goalkeeper, is ruled out due to injury

Youssouf M'Changama has been named in the squad following the loss of his father last week.

Points of Interest

Guingamp are seeking back-to-back away wins for the first time this season.
