Nabil Alioui is set to partner Mohamed Bayo up front with André Ayew set to start from the bench as Le Havre AC take on OGC Nice on Saturday afternoon.
After a good start to the season, Luka Elsner is looking to arrest the slide. Les Ciel et Marine have not won since beating Toulouse FC 2-1 on 5th November, and have lost their last two Ligue 1 matches. Le Havre looked to have secured a point against RC Strasbourg Alsace at the Meinau, however, Abakar Sylla’s 97th-minute winner snatched the point from Elsner’s grasp.
Alioui is set to return to the starting XI as they host Nice. He will partner with Lille OSC loanee Mohamed Bayo. Samuel Grandsir and Josué Casimir could both drop to the bench, having started in that loss to Strasbourg.
