Le Havre Preview: Le Havre in the fight

Coached by former Middlesbrough midfielder Didier Digard, who replaced Stade de Reims-bound Luka Elsner last summer, Le Havre head into the final two games of the season having given themselves a real chance of survival in the last month or so.

The hosts come into this one on the back of a come from behind 2-1 defeat of Auxerre at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps in their most recent outing with a Jubal own goal in the 79th minute before Arouna Sangante snatched all three points in second-half stoppage-time.

Olympique de Marseille have been frustrating to watch throughout the season but they have often produced some remarkably impressive performances as they seek to wrap up a top three finish and automatic qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.

The southerners come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with fellow top four challengers Lille at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last weekend in a game in which Amine Gouiri gave Marseille the lead before Matias Fernandez-Pardo equalised for the northerners.

Le Havre vs Marseille Prediction

Le Havre have given themselves a real chance of survival. The way they have gone about it is by actually being quite proactive and attacking, which is generally surprising given the way in which teams tend to grind their way to survival. They face a Marseille side that have been thrilling throughout this season under Roberto De Zerbi with their 32 games consisting of 121 goals thus far. Given that, we could have a fun watch in store at Stade Oceane this weekend.

Le Havre vs Marseille Tip: Over 2.5 goals
