Le Havre vs Paris FC prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-12-06 16:15.
[p]Two struggling sides square off here, as Le Havre host Paris FC in a game that could be crucial in the Ligue 1 relegation battle come the end of the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It is now four games without a win for Le Havre (D2, L2), who are getting dragged back into trouble in Ligue 1, with a 1-0 defeat against Lille last time out leaving them just three points above the relegation zone. Didier Digard’s side failed to score in three of those four winless outings, although it hasn’t been quite as much of an issue on home soil, where they’ve scored in six of their seven league games this term (W2, D3, L2). One win from the last five of those games (D3, L1) hardly serves to inspire confidence, but they’ll be forgiven for expecting better here having gone unbeaten this season against teams who start this round in the bottom half of the table (W3, D3).[/p]
[p]That might spell bad news for Paris FC, who sit a solitary place and point above their hosts in the table ahead of this round and, like their hosts, have also won just one of their last seven games (D2, L4), including a 1-1 stalemate against rock-bottom Auxerre last time out. One of the main reasons behind the club’s struggles is a leaky defence which has conceded 26 times so far, with the 14 let in on the road contributing to a negative away record so far (W2, D1, L4). That’s just one shy of the number of away defeats they posted in the entirety of last season’s Ligue 2 promotion campaign, and making a whopping nine errors leading to goals – the most in Europe’s top-five leagues pre-round – certainly hasn’t helped their cause. [/p]
