On 16/02/2025, France's Ligue 1 Round 22 sees struggling Le Havre hosting high-flying OGC Nice. Le Havre, led by Didier Digard, last recorded a narrow 2–1 win over LOSC Lille—with Ahmed Hassan and Issa Soumaré finding the back of the net—and remain vulnerable at home. On the other hand, OGC Nice (managed by Franck Haise) are buoyed by a 2–0 victory over Lens via Gaëtan Laborde's penalty and Jonathan Clauss' strike. Adding to Le Havre's woes, the recent transfer of forward Emmanuel Sabbi to the Vancouver Whitecaps may impact their attacking prowess. Get ready for an intriguing battle packed with tactical maneuverings and plenty of betting options!

Le Havre is in POS 17 with a 5-2-14 record. Their recent five games (LDLDW) show a mixed bag, and their home record has been particularly poor (five straight losses). Despite a recent win over LOSC Lille—thanks to Ahmed Hassan and Issa Soumaré—the team has been porous at the back, conceding 10 goals in recent matches. Their organization has been quite consistent, posting under 4.5 cards in 6 out of 8 matches and regularly triggering over 10.5 corners in 4 of their previous 5 games. Manager Didier Digard now needs to make up for the loss of forward Emmanuel Sabbi, a transfer that may undermine their attacking performance.
OGC Nice
OGC Nice, placed 3rd on 10 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, have recorded good overall form in spite of their away record (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses) leaving a lot of room for improvement. They last week comfortably beat Lens 2–0, where Gaëtan Laborde (from the penalty) and Jonathan Clauss were the goalscorers. Manager Franck Haise has instilled a solid defensive strategy, which is evident in Nice's under 2.5 goals in 5 out of their previous 6 games and an 8 out of 10 rating for scoring first. Their ability to remain disciplined is evident in a 7 out of 8 record for under 4.5 cards and a tendency to win more than 10.5 corners in 6 out of 8 games.
Head to Head
Historically, encounters between these sides have been closely contested—Le Havre leads with 4 wins to Nice’s 3 wins, with 1 draw on record.
