Le Havre vs Nice – Preview, and Prediction
Le Havre vs Nice – When Le Havre hosts Nice in Matchday No. 16 on Saturday night, they could lose for the third time in a row.
A 0-2 loss at home to ten-man PSG two weeks ago ended the team’s five-game winning streak under Slovenian manager Luka Elsner.
Le Havre lost 1-2 at Stade de la Meinau, upsetting their supporters, who were hoping for a comeback against struggling Strasbourg. Le Havre put on one of their worst performances of the entire season.
Abakar Sylla’s extremely late goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time led to the loss.
After a string of losses, Le Havre fell out of the top half of the Ligue 1 rankings, and they will have a very difficult time making up ground against Nice.
Nice rebounded admirably from their season’s opening setback (0-1 against Nantes) to secure a crucial 2-1 victory at Allianz Riviera last weekend by fending off a Reims danger.
With eight minutes remaining, Jeremie Boga scored the game-winning goal. Gaetan Laborde also found the net, bringing his league total to three goals.
With just six goals conceded since the season began, Nice maintains a commanding lead in the league’s defensive stats.
Le Havre vs Nice – Betting Analysis
Le Havre will rely on history, having defeated Nice 9 times, drawn 5 times, and only lost 1 in their previous 15 matches. They have been the dominant force in this matchup’s history.
It’s important to remember that Le Havre hosted the French football championship game the last time these rivals faced off, which was in 2009.
There was not a single instance in any of the three head-to-head meetings that these rivals have played in the past three years in which they scored three goals or more.
Le Have’s performance versus Strasbourg last weekend was lackluster. We think it makes sense to pick Nice, who is in second place, to win at 1.90 odds.
What are the best odds for this match?
Looking at the betting prices for the match in the WDW market, a victory for Havre AC can be had for 4.36, betting on the draw is 3.34 and staking on a victory for Nice gets you 1.99. They’re the top bets available at the current time.
