Strasbourg vs Le Havre Prediction and Betting Tips

Strasbourg will host Le Havre at the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday in the final round of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign. The home side have been one of the surprise performers in the French top flight this season and are on the verge of confirming a spot in Europe next season as they sit sixth in the table with 57 points.

They suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat against Angers last time out, struggling to create any noteworthy chances despite recording over 70% ball possession. Le Racing are level on points with fourth-placed Lille and will hope they can leapfrog them to the Champions League qualifiers on the closing day.

Le Havre, meanwhile, have struggled for results this season but remain hopeful of retaining their top-flight status for another year. They were beaten 3-1 by Olympique Marseille in their last match and had a flurry of chances late in the game to reduce the deficit, but failed to convert.

The visitors sit in the relegation playoff spot with 31 points from 33 matches. Victory on Saturday will see Le Club Doyen avoid automatic relegation and could even secure them a dramatic escape should either Stade Reims or Nantes lose elsewhere.

Le Club Doyen have won just one of their last five matches and will have their work cut out this weekend. They have been impressive on the road of late, but could see defeat against a significantly stronger side on Saturday.
