Le Havre and Auxerre meet in Ligue 1's Regular Season matchday 7 on Sunday, with both clubs lodged in the lower reaches of an 18-team table. The hosts sit 18th with two points from six matches, while Auxerre occupy 16th on six points, four ahead of their opponents.

Le Havre have not won in the league this season, recording two draws and four defeats across their opening six fixtures. Their goals record reads four scored and eight conceded, and they head into Sunday having lost their last two matches in succession. They have taken just two points from their last five Ligue 1 outings.

Auxerre arrive in a contrasting run of recent form. They have collected six points from their last five matches, including back-to-back victories over Nice and Stade Brestois 29 before a 4-1 defeat to Rennes in their most recent fixture. Across six matches overall they have won two, drawn none and lost four, with eight goals scored and sixteen conceded.

The head-to-head record between the two sides offers little to separate them. When they met in October 2025, Le Havre won 1-0 away from home. The fixture in April 2026 finished 1-1 at Le Havre.

With Le Havre anchored in the bottom two and Auxerre in the bottom third, Sunday's match carries considerable weight in the Ligue 1 table. A four-point gap currently stands between the sides after six rounds of fixtures.
