Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this fixture will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Nantes and Le Havre have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in Ligue 1 individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a strong favourite draw or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.25.
