Whispers predicts: Le Havre 1-1 Angers
Match result – Draw at 12/5 (3.40) offers substantial returns, with both sides failing to impress in their opening three games respectively, as per Bet365. The visitors head into the clash in slightly better form thanks to their one victory. Hence double chance in Angers’ favour i.e. Angers or Draw at 7/10 (1.70) is worth backing as well.
Both Le Havre and Angers have been utterly dismal in terms of chance conversion, with only six goals between them after three rounds. Under 2.5 total goals at 8/11 (1.72) carries significant value.
Similarly, their respective backlines have been leaky. BTTS – Yes at 17/20 (1.85) is a bet worth backing.
