Le Havre - Brest predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Le Havre on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

2.39 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Brest are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

Things were looking quite bleak for Le Havre on half-time of their previous Ligue 1 clash against Reims . They were losing in an away game against a much tougher opponent but ultimately manage to scrape together a $RESULT draw, however, which isn’t a bad result at all.

Brest must be feeling fairly confident after their performance in their latest Ligue 1 game. They were the away team in a very tough matchup against Rennes but managed to grab a lead in the first half and turn it into a narrow, but praiseworthy 1:2 victory.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Le Havre’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Le Havre are sitting in the relegation zone at the moment, 13 points below the red line and it’s fair to say this Ligue 1 season is turning into a major disappointment for the Le Havre fans. With Brest coming to Stade Oceane this Sunday, you should be aware that online bookmakers is offering 3.38 on the hosts.

The points from this game can go either way if the 2.39 away win odds are to be believed. For Brest, though, the match is a great shot at closing the 5 -point difference between them and a Europa League qualification. There’s plenty of time to bide their time, but getting there sooner rather than later would spare a lot of headaches down the line.

Brest already won a match against Le Havre this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Jonas Martin, Bradley Locko, Julien Le Cardinal, Jordan Amavi, Soumaula Coulibaly, Massadio Haïdara, while Abdoulaye Touré, Andy Logbo, Daler Kuzyaev will not play for the home team.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.40, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
