Le Havre AC face Toulouse this Saturday, September 19th (8:45 PM) at the Stadium Municipal for the 5th matchday of Ligue 1. The Normans, 16th with two points, are looking for a first league win against a direct rival in 17th place.
Luka Elsner's team arrives on the back of a goalless home draw against Angers last week. This result halted a run of two consecutive defeats. Goalkeeper Gautier Gallon and his defence thereby registered their first clean sheet of the season. Le Havre's last victory dates back to August 15th in the Coupe de France against Le Mans (1-0).
The context for this trip is particular. The two sides occupy 16th and 17th place in the standings, separated by just one point. The last meeting between the clubs, on February 15th, ended in a 2-1 home win for Le Havre. A repeat success is needed to create some breathing room in the table.
The schedule for upcoming matches is available on our fixtures page. For this clash, Elsner could rely on the same starting eleven as against Angers, featuring Joshua Maja and Mbwana Samatta in attack. The detailed squad list can be viewed on our squad page. Kick-off is on Saturday at 8:45 PM.
