Le Havre vs Toulouse prediction: Le Tefece to claim victory
Key Stats
- Le Havre have tasted joint-most 15 defeats in Ligue 1.
- They have won two of their last three league H2Hs.
- Toulouse have avoided defeat in five games when conceding first.
- Toulouse are winless in six straight league games.
Correct score prediction: Le Havre 1-3 Toulouse
Le Havre, currently seven points behind where they were at this stage last term, are in a perilous spot at the foot of the Ligue 1 table. Their dismal home run offers little consolation, even with Toulouse in the mix – a side whose erratic season has left them stranded in midtable.
In this high-stakes match, both teams are expected to battle fiercely, but expect Toulouse to edge Le Havre for the win.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Toulouse are the favourites
- HOME: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 19/20 (1.95) – 51.28%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Didier Digard has the huge task of overseeing Le Havre’s Ligue 1 survival with a dozen games remaining, but their poor form of late gives the club faithful little hope of revival. Bookmakers back them with odds of 14/5 (3.80), suggesting a mere 26.3% probability of success.
Toulouse, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from their dismal six-game winless streak in the league. They will be glad to face a relegation contender, backed by a mammoth 19/20 (1.95) odds of victory, a 51.28% win probability.
