Brest vs Le Havre
FreeToday’s featured game is the Ligue 2 game between Brest and Le Havre. Brest are currently in the lofty position of second in the table following an impressive run of form and Le Havre are currently third in the table following a solid start to their Ligue 2 campaign.
Hosts Brest have already won seven out of ten home games this season, drawing once, and losing twice. Only Nantes have scored more goals at home than Brest have this season so it’s fair to say that Brest are at least looking potent at the present time. Brest enter this game with a great deal of momentum with four straight wins under their belts. However, their most impressive statistic has to be the fact that they’ve only conceded once in those four games, which is partially why they’ve done so well. Brest are shaping up very well ahead of this game and have more than enough in their favour to take three points from this encounter tonight.
Visitors Le Havre have started to stutter lately despite making a promising start to life in Ligue 2. They’ve won just two out of their last five games, losing twice, and drawing once along the way. Le Havre’s biggest concern at the moment is their poor away form – they’ve now lost two consecutive away games without scoring a goal. Le Havre have already lost four out of ten away games this season, winning just three games along the way. Le Havre’s problem isn’t conceding goals but scoring them as they’re one of the lowest-scoring away sides in Ligue 2. This statistic certainly hasn’t been helped by their drop in momentum or their two prior away games where they didn’t manage to score a solitary goal so Le Havre are looking a little rocky entering this game and could be ripe to taste defeat for the third consecutive away game.
Although this game is capable of being a draw between two very good Ligue 2 sides, you have to feel that Brest have far more in their favour than Le Havre do tonight so the odds suddenly start to look very good value indeed!
Verdict: Brest to win at 11/10.
