Nantes v Le Havre: survival fight meets mid-table momentum | OneFootball

Nantes host Le Havre in Ligue 1 at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau on Sunday, 22 February 2026, with the hosts trying to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors aiming to build on recent league wins.

Recent head to heads are tight: Nantes and Le Havre drew 1-1 in November, while Le Havre won 2-0 on their last league visit to this ground in November 2024.

Les Canaris come into this one on a five-game Ligue 1 losing run, including defeats to Lyon and Monaco. Le Havre arrive after back to back wins over Strasbourg and Toulouse, following draws with Rennes and Monaco and a narrow loss at Lens.

Les Canaris are without Kelvin Amian and Matthis Abline through suspension. Le Havre have Arouna Sangante suspended, while Abdoulaye Toure, Ayumu Seko, Etienne Youte Kinkoue, Enzo Koffi Vinette, Guy Zohouri and Stephan Zagadou are all listed as injured.

Les Canaris have scored 20 league goals and conceded 40 across 22 games, a rate of 0.9 scored and 1.8 conceded per match. Le Havre have been tighter, with 27 against, six clean sheets and 1.2 goals conceded per game. Issa Soumaré leads their Ligue 1 scoring with six, while Sofiane Boufal adds creativity in the final third.

Les Canaris sit 17th on 14 points and a win could pull them closer to the relegation play-off spot. Le Havre are 13th with 26 points. Victory would push them towards the top half and create more daylight to the bottom.
