Le Havre vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (10 March)

Things are now complicated on the Le Havre side. While we thought it was on very good track to quickly ensure its maintenance just a month ago, the Hac is seriously marking time in this championship and it has just gone through a terrible series of 4 consecutive losses in the 'elite. Narrowly beaten by Rennes 0-1, they then suffered at Lille 3-0 before suffering 2 new narrower defeats against Reims 1-2 and Brest 1-0 last weekend. Following these poor performances, the Normans have fallen dangerously to 15th position in the ranking and they now only have a small point lead over the Montpellier play-off. Conversely, Toulouse is in the process of distancing itself from the last places.

Having come very close to overthrowing Benfica in the second leg of the Europa League play-offs a fortnight ago 0-0, defeat 2-1 in the first leg, the TFC can now focus all its attention on the championship where maintenance remains the priority of the club. And this is paying off for Carles Martinez's men who have the wind at their backs at the moment with 3 great successes won against teams from the first half of the table, Monaco 1-2, Lille 3-1 and finally Nice 2-1 on Last weekend. Consequently, the Violets now have a 6-unit lead in the red zone.

For this match, Hac could still be deprived of the young replacement striker Logbo, the winger Grandsir and the valuable midfielder Targhaline who are in the recovery phase. Good news for Luka Elsner who can once again count on the services of Russian midfielder Kuzyaev who has just served a 4-match suspension. Highly visible during the CAN, Guinean center forward Bayo has struggled since his return from selection and he remains stuck at 4 goals scored this year in Ligue 1. Experienced striker André Ayew (2 goals since his arrival this winter) and the American Sabbi (4 goals) are the two other major offensive players of this team. The solid left side Diarra, the right side Desler and the winger Zakaria Aboukhlal will still not make the trip to Stade Océane .

Australian international Genreau is expected after being too tight last week. Dutch striker Dallinga (14 goals in all competitions) is available. Scorer in the last two days, the young Batavian international now has 9 goals in Ligue 1. Arriving this winter, the former Rennais Gboho unlocked his counter in L1 to give his team victory last weekend.
