For the first time since 2009, Le Havre and Monaco will square in a Ligue 1 fixture on Saturday at Stade Oceane in Normandy.
Le club doyen are seventh in the table following a dramatic 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Toulouse on matchday 11, while Les Monegasques defeated Brest 2-0 as they currently sit third.
Luka Elsner's side were only a few minutes away from going winless in five successive domestic encounters before an 83rd-minute strike put them on level terms last weekend, as they went on to win the match in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Those two late goals helped them avoid equalling the longest goalless run in Ligue 1 history (five matches between November 1987 and February 1988), with Le Havre failing to find the back of the net in their previous four domestic encounters before that.
Their 12 goals scored in this competition so far are the second-fewest among teams currently in the top half of the table, with the Normandy club failing to score in five of their last seven league fixtures.
