Brest vs Le Havre predictions: Home side to extend unbeaten run

Key stats

  • Brest are undefeated in their last five matches.
  • Le Havre have failed to keep a clean sheet in the previous five games.
  • There were more than 11 corners in four of Brest's last five matches.

Correct score prediction: Brest 1-0 Le Havre

After a challenging spell in January, Brest are showing clear signs of revival and remain in contention for a European spot this season if they can sustain their current momentum.

Eric Roy’s side have won three of their last five matches, with the other two ending in draws. They have also kept clean sheets in three of their last four outings, and we anticipate that defensive solidity continuing at home this weekend.

By contrast, Le Havre have managed only two wins in their last seven matches, suffering three defeats in that run.

The visitors have secured just one away victory all season while losing seven on the road, so we expect Brest to extend their positive form by claiming another clean sheet on Sunday.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Brest priced as favourites

  • HOME: 10/11 (1.91) – 52.4%
  • DRAW: 5/2 (3.5) – 28.6%
  • AWAY: 31/10 (4.1) – 24.4%

*Odds from bet365, subject to change

Les Pirates sit ninth in the Ligue 1 table and remain firmly in the hunt for a European spot. They have won their last two home matches against Lorient and Marseille and will be confident of extending that run to three consecutive home victories.

Thanks to their strong recent form, bet365 have installed them as clear favourites for this encounter. They are priced at 10/11 (1.91), implying a 52.4% chance of claiming all three points.

All of the last five meetings between the two sides have produced under 2.5 goals, and bet365 backs the trend to continue at 4/5 (1.80), which offers good value.

Brest preview: Eyeing three wins in a row

With 10 matches remaining, Brest can put themselves in a strong position for a European place if they continue winning at home and pick up a few victories on the road.

They are riding high on momentum, and their recent consistency has given them an outside shot at qualifying for Europe.

Mama Balde is expected to miss the game, while Daouda Guindo will be absent due to suspension.

Predicted lineup: Coudert (GK), Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Diaz, Magnetti, Chotard, Del Castillo, Doumbia, Labeau & Ajorque

Last five matches

  • 01/03/26: Metz 0-1 Brest (Ligue 1)
  • 20/02/26: Brest 2-0 Marseille (Ligue 1)
  • 14/02/26: Lille 1-1 Brest (Ligue 1)
  • 07/02/26: Brest 2-0 Lorient (Ligue 1)
  • 01/02/26: Toulouse 0-0 Auxerre (Ligue 1)

Le Havre preview: Can they improve their away form?

The Normandy club will be looking to avoid a third consecutive Ligue 1 defeat, but they desperately need to improve their form on the road.

Le Club Doyen have collected just two points from their last six away matches and managed only one goal during that run.

Loic Nego will miss the tie due to a calf strain, Reda Khadra has a sore shoulder, while Abdoulaye Toure is doubtful with a knee injury.

Predicted lineup: Diaw (GK), Zagadou, Seko, Lloris, Pembele, Gourna-Douath, Mosengo, Zouaoui, Ndiaye, Soumare & Boufal

Last five matches

  • 28/02/26: Le Havre 0-1 PSG (Ligue 1)
  • 22/02/26: Nantes 2-0 Le Havre (Ligue 1)
  • 15/02/26: Le Havre 2-1 Toulouse (Ligue 1)
  • 08/02/26: Le Havre 2-1 Strasbourg (Ligue 1)
  • 30/01/26: Lens 1-0 Le Havre (Ligue 1)

Player to watch: Ludovic Ajorque

The French forward has been enjoying a fantastic season for Brest, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in 23 Ligue 1 games.

The 32-year-old striker is in a rich vein of form of late, contributing to six goals in his last five matches, and Brest will look up to him to deliver once again.
