Toulouse vs Le Havre: A Clash of Ligue 1 Rivals

The highly demotivating defeat conceded by Le Havre in their opening Ligue 1 match against PSG left their supporters in huge disappointment. However, the Le Havre side bounced back with two straight wins in the league, gaining the much-needed momentum. As they prepare for their upcoming match, the focus is on the exciting encounter between Toulouse vs Le Havre this Sunday at the Stadium Municipal.

Recent Form: Toulouse’s Struggles

Toulouse is still seeking their maiden win this season. They have managed to secure two draws out of their three Ligue 1 matches, scoring one goal in each of their last two games. Despite their efforts, Toulouse’s performance has not been convincing, and they will be eager to turn their fortunes around against Le Havre.

Le Havre’s Resurgence

On the other hand, Le Havre has shown resilience after their initial setback. With two consecutive victories, they have regained confidence and momentum. Their recent form suggests they are ready to take on Toulouse, who will be looking to break their winless streak.

Toulouse vs Le Havre: Head-to-Head Record

Le Havre can also rely on their recent head-to-head tradition against Toulouse. They have won the last two clashes, including a significant victory at the Stadium Municipal, where they ended a long winless run with a 1-2 scoreline. The last four meetings between these two teams at this venue have seen over 2.5 goals scored, indicating a trend of high-scoring matches.

Toulouse vs Le Havre Prediction

Toulouse does not have a strong home form to present in this matchup. They are currently on a four-match winless streak, with two draws in that period. Notably, they have only netted three goals in their last four home outings, which raises concerns about their attacking capabilities.

In contrast, Le Havre boasts a strong away form, following a six-match unbeaten streak. Although they have drawn three of those matches, their overall display has been favorable. Given this context, our main betting pick for this match will be the Le Havre to win or draw option.

Defensive Concerns

It is important to note that three of Le Havre’s last five road trips have seen their defensive line allowing goals. With Toulouse scoring three goals in their last four home matches, the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score options seem to be ideal picks for this encounter.

Key Player to Watch

Additionally, Toulouse’s Gabon forward, Shavy Babicka, has scored in both his appearances for the team this season. His current form makes him a player to watch, and backing him as an anytime goalscorer could be a wise decision.
