Le Havre seek survival spark against goal-shy Brest
Le Havre enter this clash fighting to escape the relegation zone, while Stade Brestois 29 look to bridge the gap to the European places.
Didier Digard’s Le Havre side currently sit 15th, occupying a relegation spot with 32 games left to secure their top-flight status. They come into this fixture following a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Lyon, a result that offered some stability after a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Monaco. Despite their league position, the Normandy outfit have recently reinforced their reputation for defensive resilience, having pushed league leaders PSG to the limit in a close-fought contest earlier this term.
Stade Brestois 29 occupy 11th place, sitting just two points adrift of the European qualification spots. Eric Roy’s side have become draw specialists recently, recording back-to-back 2-2 stalemates against Toulouse and Le Mans. While they have successfully moved away from the immediate danger zone, a lack of clinical finishing has hindered their progress, with the side failing to score more than a single goal in five consecutive Ligue 1 matches prior to their recent high-scoring draws.
