Brest vs Le Havre Prediction and Betting Tips | October 6th 2024

Brest face off with Le Havre in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Francis-Le-Ble this Sunday. The surprise package of the 2023-24 season, Brest have not enjoyed the best start to their current campaign and currently sit in 13th place.

Le Havre, meanwhile, are one place below them based on a slightly weaker goal difference.

So can Brest recapture some form and pick up a much-needed win here?

Brest vs Le Havre Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Recent matches between Brest and Le Havre have been few and far between due to Le Havre only moving into Ligue 1 in 2023. Last season, Brest came out on top in both of their matches, but only won 1-0 at the Stade Francis-Le-Ble.
While their league form has been poor thus far, winning just two of their opening six games, Brest have been enjoying life in the UEFA Champions League. They have won their first two games, beating Sturm Graz before sweeping aside RB Salzburg this week.
Le Havre are currently on a run of three straight losses, as they were defeated by Toulouse, Monaco and Lille last month. More worryingly, that run has seen them score just one goal.
Both Brest and Le Havre have struggled in defence thus far into the campaign. Both teams have conceded 13 goals, with only two teams having let in more than them.
Despite Brest's patchy league form overall, they have won two of their three home games and pitched shutouts in those two, beating Saint-Etienne 4-0 and Toulouse 2-0.

Brest vs Le Havre Prediction

Both of these sides have struggled for traction this season, but Brest's Champions League form should give them hope of turning things around here.

On paper, they definitely have a stronger side than Le Havre, and they also sport a good record against them. More to the point, they have been solid at home this season, brushing aside two lower-end sides even if they lost to Marseille.

Add in Le Havre's overall lack of firepower - they have only scored seven goals thus far - and it feels likely that the home side will come away with all three points here.

Prediction: Brest 2-0 Le Havre
