Match Analysis

Toulouse has shown a mixed bag of results in their recent performances. They managed a solid 4-0 victory against Metz at home, but could only muster a draw against Rennes and suffered a narrow defeat to Monaco. Their recent form is characterized by an average of 2.6 goals scored per game, but they also conceded an average of 2.0 goals. This indicates a potential vulnerability in defense, though their attacking prowess, supported by an expected goals tally of nearly 2 per match, remains a significant threat. Le Havre, on the other hand, has had a slightly more erratic form. While they secured back-to-back wins against Brest and Auxerre, they were heavily beaten by Marseille. They have averaged just 0.8 goals per game, but have managed an impressive three clean sheets in their last five matches, showcasing a solid defensive structure. However, with an expected goals conceded figure of nearly 1.7 per game, their defense might be tested against a more potent Toulouse attack.

Final Prediction

Toulouse appears to have the upper hand in this matchup, largely due to their stronger offensive capabilities and home advantage. Their ability to score goals consistently could be the key factor that tips the balance in their favor. A key aspect to watch will be whether Le Havre's defense can withstand the pressure from Toulouse's attacking lineup, potentially turning the game into a closely contested affair.
