Le Havre vs Angers Prediction and Betting Tips | December 1st 2024
Le Havre face off with Angers in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Oceane this Sunday. Both of these sides are currently struggling in Ligue 1, with Le Havre in 14th place and Angers three spots lower in 17th.
However, a win for the away side could see them leapfrog their opponents in the table.
So, who will come out on top in this match come Sunday?
Le Havre vs Angers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Given that Angers spent a period in Ligue 2 recently, they are one of the few Ligue 1 sides to have a number of recent games against Le Havre. In their last four competitive meetings, Angers have come out on top three times.
- Despite their struggles this season, Le Havre have won two of their last three games. They beat fellow strugglers Montpellier on November 3, and last weekend defeated Nantes in an impressive away win.
- Angers, on the other hand, are back on a two-game losing streak after winning two in a row as October turned to November. However, their two losses almost come with a caveat. Their first one came to Paris St. Germain, and Angers did at least score against the champions twice. The second, to Auxerre, came via a 92nd-minute winner, making Angers remarkably unlucky not to claim a point.
- In a curious turn of events, Le Havre are the only team in Ligue 1 to have yet to draw a game this season. They have won four and lost eight of their first twelve fixtures overall.
- Despite Le Havre currently sitting above Angers in the table, they have scored three fewer goals than them while also conceding two more.
Le Havre vs Angers Prediction
Despite this game pitting two struggling teams against one another, it could still be entertaining and it is also a difficult one to pick.
On one hand, Le Havre have the home advantage and are coming off one of their best performances of the season in their win last weekend over Nantes.
On the other, though, Angers probably shouldn't have lost to Auxerre last weekend and if they'd avoided defeat, they would be on a run of just one loss in four matches.
With this considered, a draw would seem the likely result. However, given Le Havre have yet to draw a single game and looked so good against Nantes, the prediction is a tight home win.
