Nice vs Le Havre tips and predictions

Le Havre shouldn't make a dent in Nice

It's fifth placed Nice versus 15th placed Le Havre in this Ligue 1 clash as the hosts look to add digits to the 19-point gap between the sides.

The odds-on for the home side might not be for everyone but Le Havre are unlikely to harbour any thoughts of victory.

Nice will certainly like what they see in front of them when they welcome Le Havre off the bus. The last 13 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 9 of them. The stars are aligned for one more defeat here.

The hosts have showed some real class in their previous displays. Nice scored three or more times in 3 of their recent 6 matches while their defensive line has also received plaudits. The data shows that they have kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 15 home games. This clash will be an opportunity for them to keep a clean sheet again.

There have been periods when Le Havre have lost their shape and they haven't had the requisite discipline under pressure. They have conceded one or more times in 14 of their last 15 matches. The problems don't stop there though. The visitors haven't really been able to fall back on on their play-makers in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 12 of their last 14 matches.

Nice are decent favourites and it's possible they just don't give up any ground to Le Havre. It isn't a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market.
