Strasbourg vs Le Havre prediction and betting tips on Febeuary 7, 2024
We present to our readers a prediction for the Strasbourg – Le Havre match, where adversaries will compete in the French Cup.
Strasbourg
For Strasbourg, the current season is progressing reasonably well. The team has firmly settled in the middle of the Ligue 1 table, occupying the tenth position. In the last round, the team suffered a 1-2 defeat at home against the reigning champions PSG, extending their winless streak to three matches. While Strasbourg currently feels secure, boasting a 9-point cushion from the relegation zone, it would be wise for the team to make a concerted effort to progress far in the French Cup under these circumstances.
Le Havre
The "Navy Blues" have only recently returned to the elite of French football this season, so their current 11th place can be considered a commendable achievement, with an 8-point gap from the danger zone. In the last round, Le Havre held Monaco to a 1-1 draw away, although it was an undeserved draw as their opponents clearly outperformed them. The team remains undefeated in three consecutive Ligue 1 matches, accruing 5 points during this period. Le Havre no longer carries the burden of a newcomer; they have gained confidence in their abilities.
