Half With Most Goals – Second

Our next Le Havre vs Valenciennes prediction is for the game to see the majority of the goals scored in the second half. With Le Havre scoring 75.1% of their goals after the interval and seeing all of their last 5 home games having more goals in the second half this seems a logical bet. Valenciennes also score most of their goals in the second half – 56.7%.

Under 2.5 Goals

Our final free betting tip is that there will be fewer than 3 total goals in the match. Both teams pride themselves on solid defending and often their matches see very little in terms of goal-mound action. Only 1 of Le Havre’s last 7 league games had more than 2 goals.

Le Havre vs Valenciennes Lineups and Team News

Le Havre

Le Havre’s 33-game unbeaten run in the league came to an end last weekend when they lost 0-1 away vs Annecy. A bit unlucky in this match but despite the defeat remain well in control of their own destiny with 1 more win guaranteeing their automatic promotion. The only other defeat for Le Havre this season was way back in round 2 and exactly against Valenciennes. They lost 0-1 away.

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 a major doubt, as is a third centre-back Kongolo. Despite all that Le Havre continue to look very solid at the back.

Valenciennes

Valenciennes dropped into the relegation zone for the first time this season just last weekend when they were held to a draw at home by Pau. Despite only 1 defeat in the last 5 rounds (W1 D3) the fact that Valenciennes have just 2 wins from October onward means they are on the verge of relegation. Safety is just 2 points away but there are only 3 games left to play too, so the pressure is huge.

Valenciennes travel for this game pretty much at full strength.
