"Watching their Coupe de France adventure come to a disappointing end at the hands of Ligue 2 outfit Amiens, Le Havre have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions - a rut that stems all the way back to the end of October. It should also be highlighted, along with drawing consecutive Ligue 1 blanks, Digard's men have also failed to find the net in seven of their last nine matchups."
"As for the visitors, although Strasbourg might have watched Liam Rosenior leave the Stade de la Meinau for Premier League giants Chelsea last month, Le Racing haven't shown any signs of a hangover. Despite shocking many as they appointed Gary O'Neil on January 7th, the former Wolves boss has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in Alsace. Extending on their respective Coupe de France adventure earlier in the week and collecting a heavyweight scalp as they stormed their way to a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Monaco, Strasbourg find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high."
Le Havre sit six points above the relegation zone but are in poor form, with one win in their last 11 matches and a recent 1-0 defeat at Lens. The club exited the Coupe de France to Ligue 2's Amiens and have failed to score in seven of their last nine games, registering only one home goal since the November international break. Strasbourg have quickly recovered from Liam Rosenior's departure and responded well to Gary O'Neil's January appointment, winning four of five domestic matches and beating Monaco 3-1. Strasbourg target a European spot for 2026 and carry strong momentum. Gary O'Neil's arrival has lifted morale and given them a red-hot mood ahead of the trip to Normandy.
