Le Havre vs Nice prediction: Visitors to steal all three points
Key stats
- Le Havre secured their first triumph in nine games last matchday against Lille.
- The hosts remain winless in each of their last five home Ligue 1 games.
- Nice have lost only two of their last 17 Ligue 1 matches (W9, D6).
- Les Aiglons have won just three of their 11 away league games this term.
Correct score prediction: Le Havre 0-2 Nice
Le Havre remained entrenched in the heart of the relegation zone, sandwiched between Saint-Etienne and Montpellier after 21 matches. Despite a morale-boosting away win at Lille, their chances of upsetting a top-four-chasing Nice seem slim. While Nice’s away form has been inconsistent this campaign, a fourth victory on the road appears well within reach.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Nice with the upper hand
- HOME: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
- AWAY: 13/20 (1.65) – 60.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Le Havre approach this clash with renewed hope, unbeaten in their last two league matches after enduring six defeats from their previous seven. They are on the brink of a milestone – three consecutive top-flight games without defeat for the first time in over three years. However, their pursuit of this record faces a formidable obstacle in a resurgent Nice side.
With odds of 13/20 (1.65), indicating a 60.6% chance of victory, Nice arrive with momentum, having gone three games unbeaten. Despite their inconsistent away form, they are positioned as strong favourites to extend Le Havre's struggles.

Player to Watch: Gaetan Laborde
Evan Guessand might be Nice’s most lethal player upfront, but Laborde’s effectiveness in the final-third has proved immaculate this season.
The 30-year-old contributed with a goal and assist as Nice edged Le Havre 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Allianz Stadium. Nice have netted in each of their last seven away league outings, and Laborde is expected to make the difference once again.
