Brest - Le Havre predictions

With the 1.66 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Le Havre, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Le Havre fans are expecting them to triumph at Brest this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

There is no denying that Brest put on quite a show in their previous Ligue 1 outing. They were given the odds of 2.98 to claim an away win against a strong side and they fully delivered. The Sunday hosts were level at halftime and ended up claiming a rather surprisingly convincing Strasbourg in the end.

The visiting team went into their previous Ligue 1 matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.32. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 1:2 home loss.

We can see some impressive stats on the home side, and an ability to perform under pressure. They scored over 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances as visitors. Considering they have the home-field advantage this time around, things should go even better for them.

Le Havre’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The hosts are doing well enough so far and are in a Champions League qualifying spot. The season is only past its halfway point, however, so they’ll need to work hard on staying there. Another 3 points here is definitely not a longshot, though.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Ligue 1 season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Le Havre. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Le Havre will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Oussama Targhalline, Arthur Desmas, Andy Logbo will all be unable to perform.

At the odds of 1.63, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Brest.
