Le Havre vs Nice prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-02-15 16:15.
[p]Le Havre continue to fight desperately to lift themselves out of Ligue 1’s relegation zone and are inching closer to doing so after some impressive performances. Following a five-game losing streak, they have picked up five points from three away matches (W1, D2) and have earned high praise from head coach Didier Digard, who took the unusual approach to credit some January sales for their success. [/p]
[p]Their next step is to restore confidence among the Stade Océane faithful, who have had precious little to cheer about recently. Le Havre have scored just once from open play in their last eight home matches, losing seven of those games, while their sole win in that run was against a Montpellier side who sit bottom of the table ahead of the round, and even then they needed a penalty to win. [/p]
[p]Nice picked up the sixth of their ten Ligue 1 wins this season thanks to a 2-1 H2H victory in December, but Les Aiglons have had minor troubles of their own lately, despite their third-place standing pre-round. They had failed to win three consecutive games in all competitions (D2, L1) prior to a 2-0 triumph at home to ten-men Lens last Saturday, prompting club president Jean-Pierre Rivère to refuse to comment on whether Nice are simply targeting a top-six finish or they’re aiming higher. [/p]
[p]Nice are on a five-game winning run in Ligue 1 on home soil, but they continue to lose too many points on the road to comfortably keep their top-four challengers at bay. They have won just three of their 11 away league matches this term (D4, L4), with draws at lowly Nantes (1-1) and Montpellier (2-2) confirming that they can take no opponent for granted. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Le Havre’s Ahmed Hassan scored his first goal for his new employers last weekend, which they’ll be hoping spurs him on for more. Nice’s most dangerous attacker here could be Gaëtan Laborde, who contributed to both goals (G1, A1) when Nice won the reverse fixture 2-1. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Nice have netted in each of their last seven league away games. [/p]
