Le Havre AC started this season with a different approach on the pitch. By analyzing the matches of recent weeks, one can observe a tactical shift that could have major implications. With an average of 56% possession in recent games, the team has focused on a possession-based style of play, aiming to control the pace. Adaptation to style of play This adaptation is especially visible in how players move. For instance, midfielders like F. Doucouré and Thierno Bah are keen to support the attack while remaining ready to defend. This dual role is essential in the collective created by the coach.

The upcoming match against Rennes will be a test. It's a big rivalry, and it will be interesting to see how Le Havre AC intends to adapt to their fast-paced game. If they manage to implement their possession style while maintaining their solidity, they could come out victorious. The table is as follows:
