Le Havre have a tough job on their hands to avoid a third successive defeat in Ligue 1. They begin the weekend in 11th place and host Nice who are second in the table. The Dean Club have only won three of their 15 league games since being promoted at the end of last season. Seven games have been drawn but five have ended in defeat. That includes the last two with a 2-0 home loss to leaders PSG being followed last weekend by a 2-1 defeat at Strasbourg. At least they scored in that game, ending a run of three league fixtures without scoring. They nearly earned a point against Strasbourg but conceded a 97th minute goal. Home form for the Sky and Navy has seen them win a couple of league games but lose three. They come into this game having earned only two points from their last four home league fixtures and not a goal scored by them.

Nice begin the weekend four points behind leaders PSG. They are having an impressive season with only one of their 15 league games being lost. That was away at Nantes at the start of this month but they bounced back well with a 2-1 home win over Reims last weekend. The Eaglets may be flying high but have only scored 16 goals in their 15 league fixtures with only six conceded. On the road, the Gym have won four of their seven games with only 11 goals being scored in those matches. Their last five away league games have all had under 1.5 goals scored in them. A bet on Nice to win and under 2.5 goals being scored is our tip.
