| Predictions and Betting Tips for Marseille vs Le Havre Match on October 8, 2023 |
Marseille and Le Havre are set to clash in a Ligue 1 showdown at Stade Vélodrome this Sunday. Surprisingly, both teams currently stand on nine points in the league standings, with newly promoted Le Havre holding the 10th position, just two spots ahead of Marseille.
So, the question arises: can the favored home side secure a victory this weekend, or will Le Havre defy the odds and emerge triumphant?
Marseille vs. Le Havre Head-to-Head and Key Statistics
Marseille has dominated their recent encounters with Le Havre, winning their last six meetings. However, it's worth noting that they haven't faced each other in a league match since 2009. Their most recent encounter was in the Coupe de France in 2012 when Marseille secured a 3-1 victory.
Despite collecting nine points from their initial seven games, Marseille has been winless in the league since their August 26th victory over Brest. They suffered consecutive defeats in their last two matches, facing formidable opponents in Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.
Le Havre faced a setback last weekend when they lost to Lille. Nevertheless, this was the first defeat for the newly-promoted side since the second week of the season.
Nabil Alioui of Le Havre has been impressive this season, netting four goals, which places him joint-third in Ligue 1's overall scoring charts. Josue Casimir has also contributed significantly with three assists.
Marseille had a mere three days to prepare for this fixture after a 2-2 draw against Premier League side Brighton in the Europa League on Thursday. In that match, they surrendered a 2-0 lead.
Marseille vs. Le Havre Prediction
Marseille has an unblemished record against Le Havre in their last six encounters, but can this weekend break that streak?
On paper, it's a possibility. Le Havre has exhibited better form than their hosts and enjoyed a longer preparation period for this match. Marseille, on the other hand, might be fatigued from their midweek European endeavors.
Nonetheless, the home team possesses superior overall talent, and while Le Havre has shown promise, they haven't tested their mettle against Ligue 1's elite teams yet.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the prediction leans toward a victory for Marseille.
Prediction: Marseille 2-1 Le Havre
