Relegation-threatened Le Havre will welcome Toulouse to the Stade Oceane for their next Ligue 1 clash slated for Sunday. The hosts sit 15th just a point above the red zone while Toulouse are 10th with 29 points. Le Havre will be looking to avoid relegation straight back to Ligue 2. Based on current form Luka Elsner’s men have to put in more effort in the remaining games to stay up. They are winless in their last seven games and even more worrying is that they have lost the last five. Porte Océane are fresh from a 1-0 loss to title-chasing Brest that deepened their relegation woes. Pierre Lees-Melou scored the lone goal of the game, leaving Le Havre with a steeper task with 10 games to go. The hosts will be looking to overwrite their poor record against Toulouse having lost five of their seven games. Back-to-back home defeats to Rennes and Reims will not help much in boosting their morale coming to this game. They did win 2-1 away from home in the reverse fixture in November and will be targeting three points here too.

Despite having an inconsistent season Toulouse can actually target European football. They are 10 points behind the sixth placed side. Their priorities for now will however be directed towards survival, being six points above the relegation playoff position. A win over a direct survival rival will go a long way towards securing total safety. A good run of form has eased their relegation woes after earlier struggling with league and Europa League assignments. Les Violets have since been eliminated from Europe and have the league to focus on. A fine string of results has them on four wins in their last five games including their last three. The most recent was a 2-1 win over an out-of-form Nice where they had to come from behind. Second-half goals from Thijs Dallinga and Yan Gboho secured the win after Teremas Moffi scored after eight minutes. Dallinga has been particularly instrumental for Toulouse, scoring nine league goals this season. The goals have him as the club’s top scorer and fifth on the league’s top scorers charts.
