Nice have made a stunning start to the Ligue 1 campaign this term, and they will be bidding to continue their progression when they travel to Le Havre on Saturday. The hosts will be the outsiders in the betting, but they could be set to cause an upset.
Ligue 1 Preview
Nice are the closest challengers to PSG in the current Ligue 1 standings, as they have won nine of their opening 15 matches in the competition this term. They could put pressure on the current league leaders this weekend, as a victory would see them move to within a point of the Parisians at the summit.
Nice come into the weekend in strong enough form, as they have recorded victories in three of their last five, and two of their previous three. They put in an excellent performance in their previous outing in the league, as they registered a 2-1 home success against Reims. Despite being the better side for the entirety of the match, they didn’t net their winning goal until eight minutes from time when Jeremie Boga scored.
Le Havre will be Nice’s opponents this weekend, as the French side look to end a damaging run of form which has seen them drop to eleventh in the standings. However, they will still take confidence from the fact that they are four points above the drop zone, as survival would have been their main aim for the 2023-24 season.
The hosts come into this match having failed to win in their previous four in Ligue 1. Furthermore, they have suffered defeats in each of their last two matches in the competition. Their most recent defeat was suffered last Sunday, as they slipped to a late 2-1 loss on the road against Strasbourg.
Le Havre vs Nice Head to Head
This will be the first Ligue 1 meeting between these sides since May 2009. On that occasion, the points were shared following a 0-0 draw. Nice’s most recent success against Le Havre was a 1-0 win in the Coupe de la Ligue in January 2009.
Le Havre vs Nice Prediction
Nice have been in excellent recent form, and that could be challenging to overlook when making picks this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the away side landing maximum points to move to within a point of the summit.
