Le Havre vs Angers prediction: Les Scoistes to win at Stade Oceane
Key stats
- Le Havre are winless in seven straight competitive outings (D3, L4).
- The Dean Club have failed to score in five successive games.
- Angers are on a three-match winning streak across all competitions.
- Les Scoistes have won successive matches away from home in the league.
Correct score prediction: Le Havre 0-2 Angers
Following an impressive two-match winning streak in late October, Le Havre have hit rock-bottom, now winless in six consecutive matches in the top-flight. To add salt to their wounds, Ligue 2 side Amiens knocked them out of the Coupe de France with a 2-0 result just before Christmas.
In contrast, Alexander Dujeux’s Angers have gradually been finding their feet, with their only defeat in recent weeks coming against league leaders RC Lens. If the visitors continue their impressive winning streak against sides lower than them, a top-half finish is not entirely out of question.
Although the home advantage lies with Le Havre, Angers are in resurgent form. With their top-flight ambitions on the line, expect the visitors to edge past the hosts with a comfortable victory.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookies back the Dean Club
- HOME: 11/10 (2.10) – 47.6%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.25%
- AWAY: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Didier Digard’s men lie in 15th position with as many points to their name, and just three points clear of the bottom three sides. Despite their poor form, they are backed by odds of 11/10 (2.10), suggesting a 47.6% chance of triumph.
Angers have found their feet on the road this season after failing to taste victory in their opening six away games. Despite back-to-back 1-0 results in their favour, bookies consider the visitors as underdogs with odds of 13/5 (3.60) – a 27.7% win probability rate.
