Le Havre vs Bourg en Bresse
Le Havre still have a chance, albeit very slim, to gain promotion to Ligue 1 as we go into the 38th and last round of Ligue 2 tonight. Havre take on Bourg en Bresse and have to win and at the same time hope Metz lose their game at Lens. Not only that, Le Havre, who are trailing Metz by three points, are also six goals behind and hence need to go for goals tonight. Goals haven’t actually been the problem in the last couple of weeks as Bob Bradley’s team have scored three goals in each of their last two league games against Nimes (3-1) and Auxerre (3-1). Also, only the two top teams Nancy and Dijon have better home records than Le Havre and we think the combination of motivation and class will provide the winning formula here.
Team news: The home side are without injured striker Mathieu Duhamel so youngster Nathaël Julan will be included in the squad.
Newcomers Bourg en Bresse have done surprisingly well and sit 10th in the table, 11 points clear of relegation. It could actually have been even better but a poor run of form in April saw them only picking up a single point from four league games. They did win their last game at home to equally form deprived Lens, but didn’t impress. While their home form have been excellent they have struggled on their travels and have tasted defeat in 10 out of 18 games on the road this season. Another one is expected tonight.
Team news: Patrice Dimitrou and Florent Perradin were already out from before and after the last league game the visitors have added Mickaël Alphonse and Rafik Boujedra to the injury list and will also be without Jimmy Nirlo who is suspended.
