Brest vs Le Havre: match preview
Brest currently sit in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings and still have a chance to push for European competition places. After 24 rounds, the team have collected 33 points and occupy ninth place. The gap to sixth place is just seven points, so they still have time to close the distance. This is especially true considering Brest’s solid form in recent matches: five games without defeat, including three wins. These are encouraging numbers, and their chances of reaching European competitions remain alive.
Le Havre are positioned lower in the Ligue 1 table but remain in a relatively comfortable situation. After 24 matches this season, Le Havre have collected 26 points and sit eight points clear of 16th place. However, there is clearly no room for complacency, as they have failed to win their last two matches. In addition, they are on a six-match winless run away from home. They need to start collecting points more consistently if they want to avoid seeing their gap to the relegation zone shrink.
Probable line-ups
- Brest: Coudert; Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Diaz; Magnetti, Chotard; Del Castillo, Doumbia, Labeau; Ajorque
- Le Havre: Diaw; Zagadou, Seko, Lloris; Pembele, Gourna-Douath, Mosengo, Zouaoui; Ndiaye; Soumare, Boufal
Prediction
Brest are in solid form both at home and overall. Le Havre have struggled on the road, and I believe the hosts will be able to secure a victory on their own ground. That is the bet I suggest.
