Football betting preview: Le Havre vs Paris

It's no vacation for neither Havre nor Paris as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Le Havre form and stats

2 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Le Havre have to build on here at Stade Océane in the Ligue 2. Havre are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Océane with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Pau match. Le Havre are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.

The spoils were shared in Havre's previous game, also at home. Visiting Nancy (placed 17th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Niort that finished 0-0.

A painful moment in the game against Nancy was the missed penalty kick from Jamal Thiaré in the 41st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Havre have scored 8 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Le Havre have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Paris form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 2 matches, Paris have produced an overall stat of 4-3-4 so far.

There were no winners in Paris's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 3-3 vs Niort (placed 12th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Nancy that ended 1-1.

Drawing 3-3 against Niort after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager R. Girard needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Niort was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Paris manager R. Girard as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lorient.

Paris have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Paris have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Paris - Havre 3-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Havre won three, Paris won five and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
