The following analysis will answer your questions about the match between Le Havre and Nantes.
1) Who will win the match and why?
Based on the statistics and the performances so far, Nantes will start the match with a better chance. The team has stronger attacking capabilities than Le Havre, which is supported by the xG (expected number of goals). Nantes’ xG is 32.0, while Le Havre’s is only 30.1, suggesting that Nantes will be more efficient in exploiting their situations. Also, Nantes’ defence is more solid, with fewer goals conceded so far this season. These figures suggest that Nantes are more likely to score more goals and keep the opposition’s goal tally down.
2) Will there be more or less than 1.5 goals in the match and why?There will probably be more than 1.5 goals in the match. Both teams’ matches so far show that meetings with at least two goals are a frequent occurrence. In the case of Nantes, the average number of goals has been higher in recent matches and as their attacking power is strong, they are likely to be able to score goals. Le Havre should also be able to score goals as their defence is weaker, so the total goals against is likely to be above 1.5.
3) What can be suggested as a low risk match from a bettor’s point of view?
For bettors, a less risky option might be “Both teams score”. Both teams have the ability to score goals, and since the defensive statistics are not very impressive (both teams have scored more goals than they have scored), it is likely that both sides will find the other’s net. In addition, “More than 1.5 goals” could also be a safe bet, given the teams’ past performances and the expected open style of play in the meeting. It is not so safe to bet on the result.
