• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: Sunday, 24th November, 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
• Venue: Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes)

While they had some success in the Cup, Nantes have been mostly in the lower part of the league's table in recent years. And this year, "The Canaries" started off the season well with seven points in three rounds. Unfortunately, that did not continue as they went on an eight-game winless streak. Right now, they are in 14th place with only ten points, on a level with St Etienne, which are in the relegation playout. So, these matches against relegation candidates are crucial in order to gain some separation from the danger zone.

Le Havre spent 14 consecutive seasons in Ligue 1 before finally securing promotion in 2022/23. Last season, they managed to survive in the French top-flight division, but barely - only three points away from the danger zone. This year, their goal remains the same, only to survive somehow. Unfortunately, things aren't going according to plan, as they won just nine points in 11 rounds and are one point away from the safe zone.

Nantes vs Le Havre pick: Under 2.5 goals

Nantes are in terrible form. They won just three points in the last eight games while scoring over one goal just twice in that period. Even though they will play against one of the weakest teams, we do not trust them to give a good offensive display.

Le Havre are in even worse form than Nantes. They lost seven out of the last eight and managed to score just once in the last six games! They are generally a team that struggles offensively, and with eight total goals, Le Havre are by far the worst team in the league.

Last season, we saw a goalless draw and a 1:0 win for Nantes in two h2h games. Considering the previous h2h games and both teams' poor forms, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Ligue 1 tie.
