Nantes vs Le Havre Prediction & Betting Tips (24 November)

We have to go back to August 31 to find the trace of Nantes' last victory in Ligue 1. Since then, Antoine Kombouaré's team has not fared well, including the 5 defeats and 3 draws that have been added. to his sporting record. She even suffered setbacks in Strasbourg 3-1 , on home ground against Marseille 1-2 then in Lensoise 3-2. Matches in which the Canaries always scored but also stood out for their defensive shortcomings. Nantes is thus in 14th place in the ranking, with the same number of points as the virtual barrage.

Things are not going well at Jonelière. Le Havre certainly won on November 3 against Montpellier 1-0 in a low-ranking match but took as many points as Nantes over the last 8 days. Indeed, the team led by Didier Digard suffered 7 losses including on home ground in front of Reims 0-3 before the international break. Le Havre, 17th and therefore penultimate in the championship, have only collected 9 points since the start of the season and are engaged in a perilous maintenance operation. They have the distinction of presenting the worst defense in the elite, with only 8 goals scored in 11 matches played. 

Nantes benefits from the return of the Zézé executive from suspension but at the same time sees the robust Pallois, still in the defensive sector, receive this sanction. So he won't be able to play this game. All absent before the break, midfielder Lepenant, full-back Centonze (no match) and striker Kadewere (1 goal) are doubtful this Sunday. Nigerian international Simon scored his third goal of the season in Lens. Also assisting in the defeat of his team, he is the best Nantes director of the current year. Didier Digard, for his part, must cope without the holders Salmier (central defender) and Touré (midfielder), suspended.

Absences detrimental to the Le Havre team which also saw Touré score 3 goals and become the club's top scorer this season. Executive defender Sanganté and center forward Logbo, injured, are still expected to forfeit. Le Havre's difficulties in attack are glaring. No offensive player has yet found the path to goal this season. In this sector, André Ayew returned to the club at the beginning of October and started the last 3 matches.
