LiontipsNantes vs. Le Havre. Prediction (odds 2.10) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
After 11 rounds played, it is safe to say that Nantes has not entered the rhythm of the game. Under the leadership of Antoine Kombouaré, the "canaries" have won only two times, played four times in a draw and suffered five defeats. In all these matches, they managed to score 12 goals, and conceded 14. Nevertheless, the team is still outside the relegation zone, but they manage to be ahead of it by only one point. In order not to end up in the "red" zone, the hosts need to urgently interrupt their unsuccessful performances and try to have at least a small winning streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sentons and Mahamud are injured, while Pallua is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nantes have gone eight games without a win in a row
- The hosts have conceded in all matches of the winless streak
Estimated line-up: Lafont - Amian, Castelletto, Zeze, Cozza - Augusto, Chirivella - Thomas, Mollet, Simon - Ablin.
Current form
"Le Havre" is not in the best position even compared to its opponent and is inferior to it in many aspects. It is the only team in the league that has not scored even ten times (8) in the past part of the season, but has conceded as many as 23 goals. An unexpected victory in the previous round over "Marseille" (1:0) allowed the team to leave the last line and take the penultimate place. In the last round, the guests suffered a crushing defeat from "Reims" (0:3) and confirmed the opinion of analysts that the victory over the "paladins" was a pure coincidence.
Disqualifications and injuries
El Hadjam, Kitala and Logbo are injured, while Toure and Salmier are suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Le Havre have lost their last four away matches
- Le Havre have failed to score in three of their last four away games
Tentative line-up: Desma - Sangante, Ute Kinkue, Lloris - Pembele, Targallin, Kekhta, Kuzyaev, Opera - Ayew, Sabbi.

1.70Tip and bets
We believe that Nantes has a better chance of winning this match. The teams have been playing at roughly the same level throughout the season. However, the Canaries will have their fans on their side, who have helped them score exactly half of all points over the past part of the season.
Le Havre are terrible away from home. They have won just one of their last five away games, a 2-0 win against Saint-Etienne, and have lost the other four. They are unlikely to pick up any points in this match either.
Our prediction is a victory for Nantes with odds of 1.84
Bet on total
Given the weak defence of both teams, a high-scoring match seems likely. Nantes have conceded in their last nine encounters, while Le Havre have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four away games. It all boils down to the fact that the rivals will be able to upset each other at least once.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.10
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, we come to the conclusion that the match will feature a considerable number of corner kicks due to the active game tempo and intense struggle for possession of the ball. In the last three head-to-head games, the teams have taken more than ten corner kicks between them. It is unlikely that this trend will be interrupted.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.76
