Le Havre vs Nantes prediction 14.04.2024

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: Sunday, 14th April 2024
• Kickoff: 12:00 UTC +1 / 13:00 CEST
• Venue: Stade Océane (Le Havre)

On Sunday, the Stade Océane will host a pivotal clash between two relegation contenders, Le Havre and Nantes.

Le Havre returned to the French top-flight division after 14 seasons, and the relegation battle was expected. To everyone's surprise, they did great in the first part of the season. However, the last two and a half months have been an absolute disaster, as they won just once in the last 11 games. Right now, they find themselves neck and neck with their upcoming adversaries, Nantes, in 14th place - a mere two points clear of the relegation zone.

Nantes is playing its 11th consecutive season in Ligue 1, where it was mostly mid to lower-tier. Last year, it avoided relegation by just one point, and this season, we will most likely see a battle for survival until the last round. Additionally, Nantes will have a really tough schedule after the Le Havre game, so winning this match is crucial. 

Le Havre vs Nantes pick: Under 2.5 goals

Both teams had massive problems with offense throughout the season and have only scored 27 goals in 28 matches - 0.96 per game. Additionally, both teams are in terrible form. Le Havre lost seven of the last nine with only five scored goals, while Nantes lost four of the last five with four scored goals.

In the first h2h game, we saw a goalless draw. Furthermore, the last five h2h games finished with fewer than three goals. Considering the previous h2h games, both teams' poor offensive performances, and terrible form, we firmly believe we will see a game with fewer than three goals.
