Nantes vs Le Havre Head-to-Head and Betting Tips

• Games between these sides have been few and far between in the past decade. Nantes and Le Havre have only played one another twice competitively since 2013, with Nantes winning the most recent match. The other game ended in a draw.
• Nantes are currently on a poor run of form that has seen them fail to win a single game since August. Before the recent international break, they'd lost three matches in a row, most recently falling 3-2 to Lens despite leading as late as the 85th minute.
• Le Havre also lost their final match before the international break, going down to Reims 0-3. Before that match, though, they'd beaten Montpellier, breaking a horrendous run of six defeats in a row.
• Le Havre are Ligue 1's lowest-scoring side, with just eight goals scored thus far. Across their eleven games, they have drawn blanks in six.
• On the opposite end of the spectrum, despite only scoring 14 goals themselves, Nantes have only drawn a blank in two of their matches thus far this season.

Nantes vs Le Havre Prediction

Both of these sides have found success hard to come by this season. However, despite technically being on the worse run, without a win since August 31, it's arguable that Nantes should be favored here.

Not only do they have the home-field advantage, but they're far more effective in front of goal than Le Havre, who simply can't seem to buy a goal at the minute.

Nantes' leaky defense will give the away side hope, but it feels more likely that the home side will nick this one, probably via a single goal.
