Le Havre vs Angers

Le Havre and Angers meet at Stade Océane on September 12 with both sides still hunting their first real rhythm of the new Ligue 1 season. Angers sit ninth in the early table, while Le Havre are down in 15th after picking up just a single point from their opening two matches, making home form suddenly important. Neither team has found consistency yet. Le Havre's lone point came from a 1-1 draw against Lyon, and the hosts will look to new signing M. Ndiaye to sharpen their attack. Angers overhauled their squad over the summer, losing Jacques Ekomié and Usman Simbakoli while permanently signing midfielder Branco van den Boomen from Ajax, a player who could control tempo from deep. The sides split last season's meetings, Le Havre winning 2-1 at home before Angers hit back with a 1-1 draw away. Our prediction: 1-1
