With 32 games unbeaten between the months of August and May, it is hard to imagine Le Havre fall at the time of conclusion, and miss the rise in Ligue 1. Despite the defeat in Annecy on the last day (0-1), the Normans have a golden opportunity to finish the job on Monday, against Valenciennes (18th).
Luka Elsner and Le Havre have only known twice lost this season, and the first was on August 6, precisely against this team from Valenciennes, in the North. So distrust for the ‘HAC’, which faces a club seeking professional survivalcurrently relegated two points behind the 16th, Pau.
And if the Océane stadium sounds slightly hollow this season, it should not be the case this Monday, since the possible rise in Ligue 1 will attract people. Only downside: the group of ultra supporters of the Barbarians Le Havre will not go to the stadium after the theft of his tarpaulin.
It is with a coach of only 40 years old, Luka Elsnerwhich the Norman club is in the process of moving up to the first division, fourteen years later. The Slovenian, who grew up in France, however already has a lot of experience after spells at Domzale (Slovenia), Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium), Amiens, or even Standard de Liège last season.
With only 16 goals conceded in 36 roundsLe Havre has relied on its solid defense to dominate the Ligue 2 championship for almost eight months, while being only the 8th attack.
Since 2009, Le Havre has always been trying to climb, without ever having succeeded (7th in 2009/10, 6th in 2012/13, 4th in 2015/16, 4th in 2017/18, 6th in 2019/20). This Monday, the opportunity is dreamed of to replace a Norman club in Ligue 1, four years after the descent of SM Caen.
