Le Havre - Angers

Le Havre face a significant test of their early season resilience as they navigate a challenging period without the services of Junior Mwanga and Lionel Mpasi-Nzau. The hosts welcome Angers to Stade Oceane on 12 September 2026 for this Ligue 1 matchday 4 encounter, aiming to bounce back from a narrow 1-2 defeat against Brest. With the expected XI led by Josh Maja and Mbwana Samatta, the home side will look to tighten their defensive structure after failing to secure a win in their opening three league fixtures.

Angers arrive following their own 1-2 setback against Rennes, though they remain buoyed by a convincing 3-1 victory over Auxerre in late August. The visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by the home side's absences, relying on the experience of Anthony Lopes in goal. Recent head-to-head history remains tight, highlighted by Le Havre's 2-1 victory in their last competitive meeting on 4 January 2026.
