Nice will be looking to keep their hopes of winning Ligue 1 alive when they face Levre away from home this weekend.
Wins have been very hard to come by for the hosts in recent weeks. Luka Elsner’s side enter this weekend’s game carrying a run of four consecutive league games without a win with them, losing two and drawing two. The Sky and Navy failed to score in three of those games, so they will need to be at 100% to beat high-flying Nice this weekend.
Nice are having a season to remember in the French top flight. Francesco Farioli's side started the 2023-24 season with three consecutive draws, but really got going with three straight wins against Strasbourg, PSG and Monaco between matchday four and six. The Eaglets have lost just one game this season and are just four points behind record champions and league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Le Havre vs Nice Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Wins may have been hard to come by for Le Havre this season, but boy they can defend. Luka Elsner’s men have conceded the fewest number of goals of all the teams in the bottom eleven and kept a clean sheet in four of their last seven matches.
Nice are having a great season, but they have not been scoring goals in large numbers. Farioli’s men have scored more than once in just two of their last ten matches and just one of those fixtures saw over 2.5 goals.
Historically, matches between Le Havre and Nice are not known for being particularly entertaining as each of the last three ended with under 1.5 goals.
