Nantes - Le Havre predictions

The online bookies marked Nantes as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Le Havre winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against Le Havre here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Nantes are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.85.

Nantes will not be too disappointed with their latest away defeat (Lens). It was a game they were expected to lose on a big margin anyway. But they still kept it alive for the first 45 minutes and gave their rivals a run for their money, with one goal deciding the entire match.

Le Havre are coming on the back of a 0:3 defeat at home, which was painful but hardly unexpected. Not many Ligue 1 betting predictions expected them to be able to stand up to Reims, and they fell behind fairly early.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Le Havre and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

The home team are hoping to improve the impression they’ve left so far in the season. They are number 14th in the current standings, so 3 points here would be a great way to move up.

The form we saw from Le Havre so far leaves much to be desired. They’re in the relegation zone going into round 12. Though they have a lot of time to improve their results, they’re in for a tough road ahead.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Fabien Centonze, Tino Kadewere, Johann Lepenant will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.30 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
