Le Havre, ranked 17 with a disturbing record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 15 losses, need a turnaround. Their latest form—just 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in the last five games (DLDWL)—paint a picture of inconsistency, especially at home where they have lost 5 consecutively. Their last away game was an OGC Nice 3-1 victory over them, Yassine Ketcha netting but not enough to give confidence. Pressure is mounting on manager Didier Digard as his side keeps conceding goals at the back, having allowed 11 in recent games, but there is a faint hope with a "both teams to score" trend in 6 of their last 7 matches. But caution is required because the mercurial nature of football—injuries, instant red cards, and even meteorological disruptions—would also add to their complexity.
Toulouse
Toulouse are placed 10th with 7 victories, 6 draws, and 9 losses and arrive for the match with a confusing away record of 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss that suggests that they are hard to score past. Their last match, a 1-0 loss at PSG, had a bitter taste, especially following the loss of Guillaume Restes, whose loss might jeopardize their defense. Toulouse manager Carles Martinez will be looking to stabilise the boat in the midst of a 6-game losing streak and run of conceding early (4 out of 5 games). Despite these problems, Toulouse have shown some promising trends, including scoring first in 6 out of 7 head-to-head matches and consistently keeping matches under 10.5 corners on the road. Their organized game, as seen in the under 4.5 cards statistic, could be the difference against a struggling Le Havre side.
Head to Head
In their history, Toulouse's head-to-head record favors them with 6 wins against Le Havre's 2 wins, along with 2 draws. Toulouse also tend to get on the board first in 6 out of their past 7 meetings—a psychological edge that can again come into play. In addition, the head-to-head patterns reveal a concentration on low card totals (under 4.5) and limited corner kicks (under 10.5), and the inference here is that this could be a game that is tightly contested and well-disciplined in form.

Expert Betting Tips
Toulouse to Win/Draw + Total Goals Under 3.5 @ 1.6 Odds on 1xbet:
As Toulouse has a superior head-to-head and with the possibility of a low-scoring game, a combo bet that insures Toulouse to win or draw, along with under 3.5 total goals, counteracts the uncertainty of unpredictable match interruption. Not only does this combo insure the narrow win of Toulouse, but it also takes advantage of the anticipated defensive battle.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) – Yes @ 1.95 Betway Odds:
Le Havre's 6 out of 7 trend where both teams find the back of the net, and Toulouse's habit of scoring first in direct head-to-head matches, makes BTTS a good pick. The goalkeepers will probably be kept on their toes during the night, but chances are that both nets will be found.
Total Corners – Under 10 Corners @ 1.61 Bet365 Odds:
Toulouse, in particular, have always kept their away games under 10.5 corners, and having observed the head-to-head figures as well, fewer corner kicks are favored. This could be due to structured formations focused on defense and calculated attacking, and thus the under 10.5 corners bet appears to be the most attractive option.
