Le Havre vs Nice Prediction
Le Havre have persisted with former Middlesbrough midfielder and former Nice interim boss Didier Digard, despite the fact they have struggled throughout the campaign. However, they come into this one on the back of a much-needed and desperate 2-1 defeat of Lille at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last weekend to lift themselves off the bottom-of-the-table. Nice earned an impressive 2-0 defeat of Lens at the Allianz Riviera last weekend as they focus on the league amid disappointing seasons in the Coupe de France and the UEFA Europa League. That victory against Lens means they have suffered just one defeat in their last eight matches in Ligue 1 as they have now lifted themselves into the top three and the UEFA Champions League qualifying spots ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. Both sides may well feel quite buoyant ahead of this one so both teams scoring may well be a good bet for this one at Stade Oceane.
