Team reportLigue 1 2026
Le Havre
A balanced-territory side, aggressive high-press out of possession, with a high-volume attack. Currently #18 of 18 on 2 points (0-2-6, 8:15). Tactical profile below is built from 8 matches of ball-by-ball event data, contextualised against the league.
In one read, what kind of team is Le Havre and how good was the season?
Read. Le Havre currently sit #18 of 18 on 2 points (0W-2D-6L, 0.25 pts/game), scoring 8 and conceding 15 for a goal difference of -7.
On the ball they are a balanced-territory team (51% field tilt, #8 in the league); off it they defend with a aggressive high-press (#2 of 18 for press intensity).
Across the 8 matches of event data, they create 1.59 xG/game (#5) and concede 1.43 (#11), a net of +0.16 xG/game — the underlying performance diverges from the actual goal difference.

Match Momentum — when they create and concede danger
The question
Across a whole game, which periods does Le Havre actually dominate for chances — and which periods hurt them?
Net xG (created minus conceded) in each 15-minute window, summed across the whole season's matches — above the line is time they dominate for chances, below is time it hurts them. Real on-clock shot timing.
dominant (net xG for)conceding (net xG against)
Vision AI Model Insight
Le Havre tend to come alive after the break — first-half net xG -0.72, second-half +1.97. Their strongest period is 76-90+' (net +3.18 xG); their most dangerous period to face is 0-15' (net -0.98 xG against them).
xG Race — the season, match by match
Expected goals piling up over 8 matches: Le Havre against what their opponents created. A line pulling away upwards is a side creating more than it gives away; the gap at the end is the season’s balance (+1.2 xG). Hover a point for that match.

The football question
In five genes, what is Le Havre's footballing identity?
Each gene is a 0–100 score — the team's league percentile across the metrics that define that phase of play. It distils the whole report into an identity fingerprint: the taller the gene, the more that trait defines them.

How they keep the ball, build up, progress, create and finish, and where their attacks die.
How much of the pitch does Le Havre actually control, relative to the rest of the league?
Field tilt = share of final-third touches between the two sides across Le Havre's matches, the standard proxy for territorial dominance. Plotted against points per game for every side in the league — the real question isn't just who controls territory, it's whether that control actually converts into results. Dashed lines mark the league average on each axis; Le Havre highlighted. Hover any dot for the team.
Vision AI Model Insight
Le Havre post 51% field tilt, ranking #8 of 18 in the league — comfortably above the league mid-point for territorial control, and their 0.25 points/game sits below the league-average return — a real disconnect: their territorial control isn't showing up on the scoreboard the way it should.
Where the time goes — how long each phase lasts
The question
When Le Havre has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?
The share of Le Havre's time on the ball spent in each phase of play, in the order the phases happen. A phase is where the ball is on the pitch (own third, middle third, final third); a transition or a set piece skips the build-up and is counted on its own.

Passing Network
The question
Who actually plays with whom — the real on-pitch connections, not just average positions?
Every pass linked to its likely receiver (the next same-team touch), aggregated into player-pair combinations at each player's average position. Line width = how often the pair combines; colour = threat generated per pass (blue low → red high). Hover a line for the pair, or click a player to isolate their connections.

Which Zones Do They Attack Through?
The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Le Havre actually do its on-ball work?
Passes on one map, carries (the ball travelling with a player) on the other. Each is binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shaded by its share of that kind of action; the arrows are the real actions.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Le Havre build predominantly down the left, with Gallon as the fulcrum (149 build-up passes). Only 30% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is C def → RHS def (75×).

◆ Vision AI Insight
Le Havre progress predominantly down the left, with Touba the busiest midfield outlet (195 progression passes). Only 17% of passes that start in midfield actually break the final-third line — the rest (72%) is recycled back into midfield or (11%) played backward, the hallmark of a side that carries progression itself through midfield rather than just passing through it. Their most-repeated pattern is RHS mid → RW mid (94×) — press that lane and midfield progression stalls.
Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.

Chance creation4 sections
Chance creation — how the shots come
The question
Where do Le Havre's chances actually come from?
Every shot sorted twice. First by the kind of attack: an attacking transition (the shot came within 15 seconds of winning the ball), a settled attack (open play after the team had the ball), or a set piece. Then by how it was set up: a cross, a cut-back, a long ball, a pass into the box, or no pass at all (the player created it himself). So a cut-back from an attacking transition is counted apart from a cut-back in a settled attack.

Vision AI Model Insight
The biggest source of Le Havre's chances, by xG, is settled attack (8.5 of 12.7 xG, 88 of 130 shots), mostly pass into the box / short pass. 25 of the 130 shots (19%) came within 15 seconds of winning the ball. 17 of the 130 shots came from set pieces; 8 goals from 12.7 xG (-4.7).

Every key pass pooled by where it was played FROM, then drawn with its arrow width set by total xT rather than by count. A zone that produces a lot of cheap balls shrinks; one that produces a few decisive ones dominates. Where this disagrees with the volume map, the volume map is the misleading one.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Le Havre lean right — 46% of their key passes come from that flank and its half-space (44 of 95), most often from Ndiaye (8). They funnel chances into the c of the final third, most often via RW att → C att (20 key passes, most often from Ouziad). Ndiaye is the primary source overall. They generate 1.59 xG a game and finish it wasteful — they under-perform their xG, led by Josh Maja (3G), Mbwana Samatta (2G), Rayan Fofana (2G).
Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide
The question
How does Le Havre deliver into the box from wide areas, and what comes of it?
182 crosses: 62 found a team-mate (34%), 27 led to a shot (15%). 23 cut-backs: 9 found a team-mate (39%), 8 led to a shot (35%). A cross starts wide and is aimed into the box; a cut-back starts near the byline and is squared back. Grey ones were tried but no shot came: solid found a team-mate, dashed lost the ball.
Crosses by Territory
The question
Which part of the final third does Le Havre actually cross from?
182 crosses this season (the same crosses as the map above), split into fifteen territories — five channels (both wings, both half-spaces and the centre) by three depths from the halfway line to the byline. 31% come from one territory, the advanced right wing; 6 come from the half-spaces and 0 from the centre.

When they lose it1 section
Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die
Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

How long they keep it — passes and seconds until the ball is won
The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Le Havre win it back with a defensive action?
Counted over the 263 opposition possessions that Le Havre ended with a tackle, interception, recovery or challenge. Fewer passes and seconds means the ball is won quickly (a press); more means the opponent is allowed to play before Le Havre step in. Le Havre win it after 5.6 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 4.6 after the hour mark (sooner).

Attitude in each third
Every other style number here says how much Le Havre does. This says
how: wide or central, short or long, patient or direct. Bars are standard deviations
from the league mean for passes played from that third; a solid bar marks a dimension
where Le Havre are genuinely unusual, and a verdict is only written where something clears
0.85 sd — a side that is ordinary in a third is told so rather than given a label
for average play.

Reference measured across roughly 3,500 match-teams
in this competition, per third, so the comparison is with Le Havre's own league. The means
behave as football should: width of use grows 21.0 → 25.6 → 31.6 going forward,
pass length shrinks 22.7 → 17.2 → 15.5 m, and completion is hardest in the
final third. Tempo is integer-resolution because the feed records whole seconds.

Transitions — attacking & defensive
The question
When Le Havre win or lose the ball, what actually happens in the seconds after?
Reconstructed from the full timestamped event stream: real possession spells (not zone-clustered), and shots that follow a regain within a fixed window. This phase of play needs ordered, per-event timestamps — which every match here carries.

Vision AI Model Insight
Le Havre are a direct, fast-break side: 19% of possessions reach the final third in 3 passes or fewer (#4 of 18), against 25% built patiently over 6+ passes (#13 of 18). Winning the ball back leads to a shot inside 12 seconds 0.95 times a game (#11), and a high regain converts to a shot within 8 seconds 3.19 times a game (#10 of 18) — not yet a major source of chances.

How Do They Concede?
The question
Where do the goals against Le Havre actually come from — open play, dead balls, and who supplies them?
Every goal Le Havre conceded across the loaded matches — the opponent's shots in Le Havre's own matches — plus every individual opponent key pass faced, each drawn as its own real arrow (not zone-clustered) with the % share of each zone behind it.

Vision AI Model Insight
15 goals conceded. 67% come in open play; set pieces account for only 20%, so dead-ball defending is not the main issue. 20% are headers — aerial defending is not where the damage comes from. Their supply line runs mainly through the right half-space of the attacking third (22% of key passes faced) — that is the zone to shut off.

Where do Le Havre's corners go?
43 corners taken this season, split by which flag they were taken from — arrows from the flag, dots at the delivery point, shaded by % of that side's corners landing in each zone (same treatment as the concede map below). No swing-direction (inswinger/outswinger) data is recorded here, only a start and end point per pass, which cannot show how the ball curved — so this shows what is genuinely knowable: where it lands, and short vs actually delivered. Tap or hover a dot for who took it and the match; filter to one match below and the shading recomputes for just that game.

Performance vs Opponent Styles
The question
Not just how Le Havre results against a high press or a low block — how does their own play actually change?
Every match split into three tiers by how hard that specific opponent pressed (opponent PPDA — lower means a more aggressive press), matching Le Havre's own passing behaviour to the result.

Vision AI Model Insight
Facing a high press, retention drops to 78% vs 81% against a low block (3pt lower under pressure), and directness (long-ball share) sits at 12% when pressed vs 13% against a low block — their passing style barely changes regardless of how the opponent sets up, for better or worse.
Scouting Summary — the team in brief
In brief. Le Havre are balanced-territory with a aggressive high-press.
Their attack creates 1.59 xG a game and they concede 1.43 a game.
[Event-data based — no tracking, so off-ball structure and marking scheme need video.]
For each of ten match numbers, the one match this season that departed furthest from Le Havre’s own average, the eight biggest swings first. Bar right of centre means more than usual, left means less. It shows how much the way they play moves from game to game, and which opponent moved it.

Threat from passingvs Brest · 1-2 · 2026-09-0510.28avg 6.85
Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds. This is Le Havre’s last 8 matches added up: where the value came from, who produced it, and the six biggest single moves. OBV only measures what a player does with the ball: it shows who added the most on-ball value, not who was the most important player (defending off the ball, positioning and pressing are not in it).

Set Pieces by Player
Who delivers Le Havre’s dead balls and who finishes them this season. 43 corners taken, most by Rassoul Ndiaye (16); 15 shots from corners and free kicks, 0 goals. “Into the box” counts corners that landed inside the penalty area; free-kick takers are the players who shot from one, because this feed does not mark who delivers the others.

Recruitment Intelligence — profiles to sign
The question
If you were sporting director, which player profiles would move the needle most?
Each recruitment target is derived directly from the team's weakest areas vs the league — the gap, why it shows in the data, and the profile that closes it.
Need — bottom-third: pass retention % (22th pct)
Sign a secure ball-retaining midfielder. The data flags this because possession is turned over cheaply (79.92, 22th percentile vs the league).
Need — below-average: xG conceded /game (39th pct)
Sign a defensive organiser / shot-suppressing centre-back. The data flags this because too much xG is conceded (1.43, 39th percentile vs the league).
Need — below-average: threat created /game (50th pct)
Sign a threat-generating creator between the lines. The data flags this because little threat is manufactured (10.96, 50th percentile vs the league).
