Le Havre to Win
Le Havre has been on top of the rankings for some time, they are the most consistent team in the league who made few errors on its way to gaining that position. This Le Havre vs Laval prediction is putting all the marbles in one basket, for the home team. Le Havre only lost once the entire season, they have 14 wins, but also ten draws which is the highest mark in the league also shared by Valenciennes and Rodez.
