Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne Prediction

Le Havre have climbed out of the bottom two and the automatic relegation places ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures but they come into this one on the back of a second victory in their last four matches as they most recently defeated Lens in a thrilling 4-3 win at Stade Bollaert-Delelis last weekend. They face a Saint-Etienne side that, following their promotion back to the top-flight last season, are now under the management of Eirik Horneland following the sacking of Olivier Dall’Oglio, are the team that have slipped into the bottom two. ASSE were beaten 3-1 by Nice at Stade Geoffrey-Guichard and they are now winless in eight matches since a victory in Horneland’s first game in charge at the start of 2025. Given that poor form and their recent leapfrogging, as well as home advantage, siding with Le Havre looks the way to go for this one at Stade Oceane.
