Lille - Le Havre predictions

Lille are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Le Havre winning, though.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Lille and the 7.00 odds given to Le Havre to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Although Lille’s previous Ligue 1 outing at Paris Saint Germain was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Paris Saint Germain , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 3:1 victory in the end.

The visiting team went into their previous Ligue 1 matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.10. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 0:1 home loss.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, Lille is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Le Havre will need to be careful.

Le Havre have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Lille clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Le Havre, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.02, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
