Le Havre vs Brest predictions: The hosts are pegged evenly
Key stats
- Le Havre earned their first victory in six matches last weekend.
- Two of the last three games involving Le Havre returned goals from both sides.
- The visitors suffered their first defeat in five fixtures last weekend.
- Brest's two league fixtures recorded over 2.5 goals.
- Two of Le Havre's last three matches produced at least three total goals.
Correct score prediction: Le Havre 2-2 Brest
Going by the positions of these teams in the Ligue 1 standings, they are at par in terms of the number of points accrued so far, and the fact that only two places separate them makes it difficult to back one side.
That is to say, this encounter is likely to end in a stalemate after regulation time. However, we expect it to be a scored draw, especially considering the attacking record and the defensive frailties of both sides. Hence, we predict this match will end 2-2.
