Stade Reims vs Le Havre Prediction: Le Havre are stuck in a cycle.

Stade Reims have lost 2 games in a row and it's a difficult position to be in for a team of their caliber. At the moment, they are eager to turn things around by getting a win as quickly as possible and their opponent will be Le Havre.

Le Havre are coming off a surprising 3:1 win over OGC Nice after a run of poor results. The win surely came as a shock and it's expected that Le Havre replicate the same level of energy in their coming games. Their next opponent is Stade Reims and it would be a tough game against a side desperate to get back to winning ways. The last time both sides locked horns was in a friendly game in 2020. Hopefully, one team can make their fans proud and get all 3 points.

Stade Reims

It's been a tough couple of weeks for Stade Reims and their fans. They have endured 4 defeats in their last 5 league games, winning only once during that time. They suffered back-to-back defeats against PSG and Stade Rennes, then a win against Strasbourg before back-to-back defeats against OGC Nice and RC Lens.

Their last match was against RC Lens away from home and they were defeated 2:0 at full time. Wesley Said put Lens ahead in the 43rd minute and in the 75th minute, Oscar Cortes doubled the lead. Reims made no real impact on the game and ultimately fell to a defeat at the end of regular time. As a result, they are 8th in the Ligue 1 table, having 23 points from 16 matches.

Another defeat would only make things worse for Stade Reims and they need a new strategy against Le Havre. They met each other 3 years ago in a friendly and Reims came off with a 3:0 win in that game.

Le Havre

Le Havre got a well-deserved win in their last match as they beat OGC Nice 3:1 at home. It was a much-needed win for the team that were on a 4-match winless run before the game. Despite the win, their stats look horrible and it would do them good to build on that win. They went 4 games winless until they beat Toulouse 2:1 last month. And after that, they went another 4 games winless before beating OGC Nice 3:1. Now it is unclear what their response would be in the upcoming fixtures.

It was a tough atmosphere in the game against OGC Nice but Le Havre managed to come out on top. Emmanuel Sabbi scored a double in the first half and in the second half, Mohammed Bayo scored Le Havre’s 3rd from the spot. Nice were only able to respond in the 91st minute through Tom Lauchet, and the game ended 3:1 at full-time. After the result, Le Havre are ranked 10th with 19 points from 16 matches.

Le Havre will go to the Stade Auguste Delaune to win although they lost 3:0 the last time they visited that ground back in 2020. But they had won once before on that ground and that was back in 2018.

Head to Head

According to the head-to-head record, there have been 11 matches played between Le Havre and Stade Reims. Both sides won 4 matches a piece and drew 3 matches.

Analysis and Betting Options

Stade Reims are far from the team they used to be and at the moment, the home advantage counts for little in this clash. This is the sort of game that would be decided by very few goals. But deciding which side will come out on top is tricky.

Analysis shows that both clubs played less than 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 meetings. This is the only realistic option at the moment.
