Brest vs Le Havre Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Waking up on a national scale and returning to Ligue 1 after a dream debut in the Champions League. This is what the Stade Brestois squad must keep in mind, which got off to a bad start to its season in the league with two wins, at home against Saint-Étienne 4-0 and Toulouse 2-0. However, for its discovery of the Champions League, the Breton club defies all predictions and can boast of having won its first two matches: the first at home against Sturm Graz 2-0 and the second on Tuesday in superb fashion at the RB Salzburg 0-4. Defeated before this great performance in Auxerre 3-0, the SB29 must take points in the championship to move up the rankings. Its current 13th place is not enough for the moment. Le Havre is also in difficulty in the French elite. Didier Digard's players also have a record of 2 victories and 4 defeats since the start of the year.

This accumulation is all the more burdensome as Le Havre remains on 3 defeats: in Toulouse 2-0 then Monaco 3-1 and last weekend at home against Lille 0-3. The HAC has the same number of points as Brest, i.e. 6, but ranks one place after 14th due to an unfavorable goal difference -6 compared to its opponent of the day. There is already a great need for points at the Océane stadium before the October international break which will take place following this 7th day of Ligue 1. 

For Brest, it should be noted in relation to the last day the return of senior defender Le Cardinal, who was ill at the time. The person concerned was also established mid-week in Salzburg. Left back Locko remains out due to an injury which should keep him away from the field until 2025 and midfielder Lees-Melou, absent for a long time, is getting closer to a return which could take place this Sunday. Del Castillo and Camara (2 goals each) are Brest's best directors in Ligue 1. The latter also took part in the party in Salzburg by scoring once. During this same memorable evening, Sima did his double.

 In Le Havre, Didier Digard still has to cope without the injured Logbo (young striker) and Mosengo (midfielder, 18 years old). Thirty-year-old full-back El Hajjam has not yet appeared in the league and is aiming for a return this Sunday. In an offensive sector which lost André Ayew this summer, no player has yet found the fault. Defensive midfielder Abdoulaye Touré is Le Havre's top scorer in Ligue 1 with 2 goals. A statistic quite symbolic of the effectiveness of the attackers including Soumaré and Joujou.
