Havre Team Overview
🔵 Le Havre have struggled with consistency this season, which is hardly surprising given their limited budget and short bench. As the season progresses, their key players start to tire, and opponents become more familiar with their style, leaving them with few replacement options. Didier Digard's squad currently trails Angers by four points in the league standings.
⚪ Le Havre's last victory in the league came in mid-February, and they've only managed to collect three points since then. In their last two matches, they secured draws against Auxerre (1-1) and Nice (1-1). These games were crucial from a standings perspective, as they faced direct competitors in the battle for survival.

Latest news
Angers
❌ Angers will be without one of their key midfielders, Yassine Belhadim, due to a hand injury. He already missed one match and hasn't recovered in time. Additionally, Arkus Karlen (groin injury), Marius Kurkul (illness), and Aruna Djibiren (leg injury) are also sidelined.
Havre
❌ Le Havre have a relatively calm situation regarding injured players compared to other clubs in the French league. Among those who won't be able to assist the team in the upcoming match are Swiss forward Felix Mambimbi, who has been out since the beginning of the calendar year, and Guinean defender Abdoulaye Toure, who hasn't played since November last year.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The upcoming match will be officiated by Marc Bollengier. Over the span of 79 matches he has refereed, he averages 3.49 yellow cards per game, with 27 fouls. In Ligue 1, Angers average 1.7 yellow cards per game, while Le Havre average 1.8. Both teams have not been frequently booked this season, and Marc Bollengier is not quick to hand out cards either. Thus, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Angers' individual goal total in Ligue 1 averages 0.9 goals per match, while Le Havre's is about the same at 0.8. The overall scoring in matches involving these teams is low: 2.2 for the home team and 2.1 for the visitors. Considering this data, we recommend betting on total goals under 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their recent Ligue 1 matches, Angers have averaged 3.6 corners per game, while Le Havre have averaged 4.4. Both teams have a below-average record for earning corners, so we suggest placing a bet on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
We're looking at a clash between two teams that have struggled to find the back of the net this season. Both sides are desperate for points, but it's hard to see how they'll achieve that with their attacking lines effectively shut down. Matches featuring these teams tend to be short on excitement and goals. Taking all this into account, we suggest betting on under 2.5 total goals. We believe a goalless draw is a very likely outcome in this match.
