Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Strasbourg win

Odds: 20/21 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their sensational flurry, Strasbourg will travel to Normandy on Sunday afternoon when they meet Le Havre.

Starting with the hosts, while Le Havre might open this weekend’s fixtures holding a six-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone, the Dean Club are still firmly look over their shoulder and they are enduring a recent rut. Last seen putting in another toothless performance as they slumped to a 1-0 loss away at Lens, Didier Digard’s side will certainly be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they return to Normandy on Sunday afternoon. Watching their Coupe de France adventure come to a disappointing end at the hands of Ligue 2 outfit Amiens, Le Havre have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to the end of October. It should also be highlighted, along with drawing consecutive Ligue 1 blanks, Digard’s men have also failed to find the net in seven of their last nine matchups. In fact, Le Havre have recorded just a sole strike in Normandy since returning from November’s international break.

As for the visitors, although Strasbourg might have watched Liam Rosenior leave the Stade de la Meinau for Premier League giants Chelsea last month, Le Racing haven’t shown any signs of a hangover. Despite shocking many as they appointed Gary O’Neil on January 7th, the former Wolves boss has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in Alsace. Extending on their respective Coupe de France adventure earlier in the week and collecting a heavyweight scalp as they stormed their way to a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Monaco, Strasbourg find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. With their sights firmly set on punching another lucrative European ticket in 2026, O’Neil’s side have won four of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions. In fact, despite falling to a close-fought 2-1 loss against reigning Ligue 1 and European champions PSG last weekend, that is the only defeat that Le Racing have suffered over the past two months.
