Competition: Ligue 1
Market: Goal to be scored in both halves
Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet
Seeking an immediate response when they return from September’s international break this weekend, Strasbourg will welcome Le Havre to the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, officially punching their Europa League group stage ticket last month as they secured a famous 3-2 aggregate victory against Danish giants Brondby, Strasbourg have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent. Enjoying life under Liam Rosenior’s guidance and with their sights set on mounting another European charge this time around, Le Racing will be hoping to mark their return from September’s international break with a statement of intent. However, last seen prior to the fortnight interval getting hit with an action-packed 3-2 loss away at Monaco, the former Hull City boss is calling on an immediate response this weekend. Nevertheless, suffering just a single defeat across any competition since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Rosenior’s side have also gained a reputation for their extended success on home soil. Including a famous 2-1 win against reigning European champions PSG on May 3rd, Strasbourg have tasted just a sole Ligue 1 defeat in front of their own supporters since the start of March.
As for the visitors, while Le Havre might have eventually clung to their Ligue 1 status last season, it is no secret that Didier Digard’s men are pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate this time around. Getting the new campaign underway with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Monaco, the Dean Club look set for what will be another stern examination when they return from September’s international break here. However, heading into the fortnight interval with a shock 3-1 victory at home against Nice, the one-time Middlesbrough midfielder will be calling on his squad to use that performance as a platform to build on. Shipping six goals in their first three Ligue 1 showdowns, Le Havre have gained an unwanted reputation for their worrying defensive issues. In fact, on what has become a public rut, Digard’s side have recorded just a single clean sheet across any competition so far this calendar year.
