Le Havre - Nantes predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.05, the bookies made it clear that Le Havre are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The odds are stacked heavily against Nantes here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Le Havre are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.06.

Le Havre are looking to get back to winning ways following a difficult Ligue 1 trip. They were up against a strong rival but held well away from home. Level after 45 minutes, they managed to preserve a point in what ended up being a Toulouse.

The previous round didn’t end well for Nantes, who played a fairly close matchup against Metz. With a home-field advantage on their side and a decent shot at winning, they were expected to break the stalemate of the first half. Instead, they conceded multiple goals in the second half and lost 0:2.

Le Havre gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Nantes’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Le Havre’s start of the season left a lot to be desired, but there’s a lot of time to improve. However, their clash with Nantes will not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. They’ll need a win in order to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible.

Nantes find themselves placed 15th in the standings as this Ligue 1 season enters round 12. That puts them just 1 point above the relegation zone, which is far from an admirable result. Although there’s plenty of time left to improve the impression they’re leaving, it’s hard to feel optimistic with the 4.06 odds most bookies online are offering for an away win.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Nantes suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Le Havre secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Saturday.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

We recommend taking up William Hill’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 2.05. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
