Marseille vs Havre Prediction

🔊 Will Le Havre give up this game without a fight? In the 16th round of Ligue 1, Marseille will host one of the weakest teams in the tournament at the "Velodrome". Olympique is striving for the top, and although this path looks long, the Marseillais are trying to make the most of every opportunity. Le Havre, who has been losing almost every match in recent months, does not seem to pose a threat to such a team. Our editorial team has assessed the balance of power in this matchup and has already made a prediction.

📊 H2H

Eight out of the last ten meetings between these teams have ended in favor of Marseille. Le Havre has only managed to respond with one victory. However, only two games from last season can be considered truly relevant, in which Marseille's Olympique was stronger (2:1, 3:0). Therefore, you can now bet on Marseille's Victory.

Ⓜ Marseille

Marseille is performing almost flawlessly, rarely dropping points and maintaining their pace. The gap from PSG still looks colossal, as it is ten points. But Marseille's Olympique is currently the main pursuer of the Parisians. The team has shown itself well in matches against tough opponents, including Lens (3:1), Monaco (2:1), and Lille (1:1). And it seems that few can stop them.

Moreover, Marseille's squad looks extremely capable, and it's hard to call the players in the infirmary key. Currently, midfielder Carboni, forwards Vahi and Mumbanya, as well as backup goalkeeper Blanco, are there. Additionally, defender Lirola, who managed to play only 16 minutes in the match against Lille after an injury, will not be able to play due to suspension.

🔵 Le Havre

Defeats have become an absolute norm for Le Havre. These guys don't settle for draws with anyone, and they have only managed to defeat two opponents in the last 13 matches. In all other cases, the "sky-blue" invariably lost, and it didn't really depend on the level of their opponents. Le Havre even lost to Stade Briochin (0:1), representing National 2, which led to their exit from the Coupe de France at the 1/32 finals stage. So in Ligue 1, no miracles should be expected from these guys yet.

The only light at the end of the tunnel for the club can be considered the reduction in the number of players in the infirmary. Currently, Le Havre cannot rely on only three forwards: Kitala, Kazimir, and Logbo.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Marseille is not shy about scoring many goals when the opponent allows it. Here, the top-2 team in Ligue 1 in terms of scoring faces one of the most conceding teams in the championship. So we advise betting on Marseille's Individual Total Goals Over 2.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

In three of their last four matches, Marseille did not allow more than three corners at their goal, and the average number of corners on their side is 3.3. And Le Havre, who will play as the second number and act as a clear underdog, is unlikely to have many chances to improve this statistic. So we suggest betting on Le Havre's Individual Total Corners Under 3.5.

📝 Match Prediction

The question of who will win this match can be considered almost rhetorical. It's hard to imagine circumstances under which Marseille could not handle such an opponent. When it comes to fighting for the championship, you can't slip up in such matches. Le Havre, losing to everyone consecutively, is practically doomed. And we believe that Marseille will achieve a victory with a score of 4:1.

It's unlikely that Marseille will be satisfied with a minimal victory; the support of local fans at the "Velodrome" always pushes the team forward and encourages them to score as much as possible. And not all opponents allowed this, so De Zerbi's charges can fully unleash against Le Havre. Our editorial team advises betting on Marseille's Victory with Handicap (-1.5).
