Lens - Le Havre predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.63 is a solid option. That said, Le Havre may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Lens and the 6.16 odds given to Le Havre to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Lens lost their last Ligue 1 outing Lille. It might have been a minimum defeat but the hosts never actually got a chance to get anything positive from this trip having fallen behind in the first 45 minutes.

The away team are coming on the back of a $RESULT defeat at home. They played against Montpellier, though, which was an unfavourable matchup according to most Ligue 1 betting odds. It’s also worth noting that the scores were tied before the second half.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Going into round 28, Lens are three places outside the European spots. They still have a shot at securing international football next season, but time is quickly running out.

The away team are placed fairly low as number 15th in the standings, and they’re not likely to win any points in this game either. For now, their only goal is staying out of the relegation zone, though the competition can get fierce this late in the season.

Le Havre and Lens tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Lens are still considered more likely to come out on top this Saturday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.06 odds offered at 1xbet.
