Le Havre vs Nantes Prediction & Tips
After a two-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1, Le Havre stumbled again, losing 2-4 to Lyon. The team’s defensive problems remain unresolved: it has now gone 14 consecutive matches without a clean sheet. However, in attack, the team is not lagging behind: their scoring streak has reached seven games. Despite the latest defeat, Le Havre remain 16th in the table, but only two points separate them from the salvation of 15th place.
However, one of the main factors of the crisis is evident: the defence. With 55 goals conceded, the club’s defence is one of the most vulnerable in the championship, second only to Saint-Étienne (57) and Montpellier (59). The home stadium does not provide the desired advantage: in the last eight Ligue 1 matches, the team only managed one draw, losing the other seven games.
Nantes managed to break a run of two defeats without scoring in Ligue 1 with a narrow 1-0 win over Lille. However, the team continues to alternate wins and defeats, taking its series of matches without a draw in the championship to seven games (3 wins, 4 defeats). It was especially important for the ‘canaries’ that on the previous matchday they finally kept a clean sheet, something they had not achieved for 11 consecutive games.
In the league table, Antoine Kombouaré’s team is in 13th place, six points ahead of Le Havre. However, away matches remain the team’s Achilles’ heel: in the last 11 away league games, Nantes have only avoided defeat once (4 draws, 6 defeats).
