Marseille vs Le Havre: Prediction and odds on the Match on 18 October 2025
Saturday's schedule for the eighth round of the French championship concludes with a match at the Velodrome, where Marseille hosts Le Havre. Olympique are currently one of the league leaders, just two points behind PSG at the top. Le Havre, however, have a three-game winning streak that keeps them above the relegation zone, but only on goal difference.

There are a few more volatile areas in European football than Marseille. The club has long been synonymous with instability, a place where no peace lasts long. Coaches and presidents change at the Velodrome like the seasons, and any attempt at stability usually ends in an eruption of conflict between the board, fans, and the dressing room. The passionate and powerful fans believe that the club belongs to them, and every series of poor results turns into a siege - from training ground invasions to protests outside the stadium. But is something big finally being born now, something that will last at least a whole season. Olympique, under Roberto De Zerbi, is playing excellent football. Marseille returns to the Velodrome full of confidence, having won four of their four home games this season in all competitions, scoring four or more goals in three of them. Their home winning streak in Ligue 1 now stands at seven matches, their longest such streak since 2014-15, when they won 11 consecutive games.

Le Havre returned to Ligue 1 two seasons ago and have since focused solely on staying in the top flight. In their first year back, they finished three points above the relegation zone; last season, just one point above. A last-minute win in the final round saved them not only from relegation but also from the play-offs. That left no reason to replace Didier Dugar, who spent his first season in charge of the Blues from the Sky Blues. So, Le Havre's start to the season is not a disaster, but six points from seven matches keeps the pressure on - they are just one point above the relegation zone. Their attack needs to be improved, especially away from home, where they have scored just one goal in three matches, one of the worst stats in the league in that regard. In the circumstances, an end to a nine-game losing streak against Marseille seems unlikely.
