In the fourth round match of the French championship, Le Havre will host Angers. For both teams the match is of fundamental importance, since both have to fight for survival. And valuable points must be earned from the early rounds. Usually Angers performs better in the first half of the season. They tend to collect more points at the start and then, thanks to this head start, avoid drama in the final rounds. In addition, Angers knows how to play well against teams like themselves and against equal rivals. They have already shown this at the start. In the first round Angers lost to strong Lille (0-2), but then away they confidently dealt with Auxerre (3-1). In the last round they were beaten by Rennes (1-2), a team that started the season strongly. Angers bagged three points. One could expect Angers to be aiming for three points in the game against Le Havre as well, especially considering the opponent's weak start. Le Havre began with a defeat to Monaco (0-1), then drew with Lyon (1-1), and in the previous round they lost to Brest (1-2), a team fairly comparable in strength. Le Havre's problem will be traditional: the team has a weak squad and one of the smallest budgets. There are very few resources to strengthen Le Havre. This could become a decisive factor in the fight for survival. And specifically before this match Le Havre has lost many players due to injuries and even suspensions. This will be a blow for the hosts, who risk losing to Angers.
