Marseille vs Le Havre — Tips & Analysis

Marseille -1: Le Havre arrive bottom of Ligue 1 with a back line held together by whoever is fit, and that is the case for backing Marseille to win well. Six Le Havre players are listed out. Marseille are missing just one. Marseille are a different team at the Velodrome. They score 2 goals a game at home and let in just over one. Le Havre have 2 points from 7 games with a goal difference of minus 6, and their last five results read four losses and a tie. They score just over a goal a game and let in more than a goal a game. Marseille have also won all 7 of their last meetings with Le Havre, and those games averaged just over 4 goals. Put it together and a controlled 2-0 home win is the honest read. A two-goal win does the job for us. There are two worries. Marseille had only 3 days off after losing at Sturm Graz, and tired legs can turn a comfortable night into a nervy one. Le Havre have also been better away from home than at their own ground. They have lost by 2 or more goals only once in their last 12 games. That makes this closer than the table suggests, but we still want Marseille to win this clearly.
