Le Havre Clean Sheet
League-leaders Le Havre have suffered only 1 league defeat all season for a reason. The reason is their rock-solid defence. Our first Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne prediction backs the hosts to keep yet another clean sheet.
Le Havre have conceded just 5 goals in 13 home matches this season and they are almost impossible to score against in front of their own fans. Le Havre also kept clean sheets in 3 of the last 5 H2H clashes, including during their 6-0 away win vs Saint-Etienne earlier this season.
Half With Most Goals – Second
Our next Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne prediction is for the game to see the majority of the goals scored in the second half. Le Havre in particular often decide their matches after the interval. All of their last 4 games saw more goals scored in the second half. In fact, Le Havre score a staggering 75.6% of their goals in the second half. Saint-Etienne are also far more effective after the break with 64.1% of their goals coming in the second half.
Result After 30 Mins – Draw
With both teams being so aggressive in the second half it is somewhat logical that they start their games slowly. This is why our final free betting tip is for the game to still be locked in a draw after 30 minutes. This has been the case in 34 of Le Havre’s last 4 matches.
Saint-Etienne use a very cautious approach away from home. They don’t score their first goal on the road until the 56th minute and don’t concede until the 35th. It’s a similar story for Le Havre at home. They don’t score on average until the 39th minute but also don’t concede until the 49th.
Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne Lineups and Team News
Le Havre
Le Havre had to come from behind in the last round, yet again, to save a deserved 1-1 draw on their visit to Metz. This extended the unbeaten league run to 25 (W15 D10) and Le Havre look untouchable at the top of the table already.
The manager continues to find ways to create very strong defensive lines, despite some injury issues. Wahib’s season is over. Another important centre-back Moussadek is doubtful, as is a third centre-back Loris. Even without them, Le Havre have plenty of quality defenders still.
Saint-Etienne
Saint-Etienne extended their unbeaten run to 6 with a slightly scrappy 1-1 home draw against Amiens. Striker Nkounkou continued to impress and he seems to fit Saint-Etienne’s counterattacking style very well. This recent unbeaten run lifted the team out of the relegation zone. They still have work to do if they are to secure survival.
Some changes to the lineup can be expected. Nkounkou looks certain to start again though with Saint-Etienne expected to be under pressure and playing mainly on the counterattack. Giraudon could start again as he has recovered from a recent injury.
Star striker Charbonnnier is the only notable absentee through injury. Important midfielder Cafaro also could miss as he has fallen sick during the week. If this is the case Bamba might be used out of position again.
