Le Havre are solid at home, drawing 3 and winning 1 of their last 5. Nantes, away from home, have bagged 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 defeat in their recent 5 trips.

Key factors include Nantes missing Fabien Centonze and Mayckel Lahdo due to injuries. Both teams have rotated lineups recently, but Le Havre looks more settled.
