Le Havre – Tours

Meeting between 4th placed Le Havre and 10th placed Tours in France, Ligue 2.

Le Havre has changed tremendously since Bob Bradley, former USA national team manager, took over. They play offensive, fluent football, a rarity in such a physical competition as this Ligue 2 is. Le Havre is chasing promotion, while Tours is dead in the middle of the standings. So one reason for the pick, besides quality, is motivation.

Some words about the missing players. Le Havre will miss Ghislan Gimbert, important striker, 24 app 6 goals, 2nd scorer of the team. However, there is some good news. They will welcome back key CB Bain and attacking midfielder Manzala, 18 app 1 goal, 1 assist.

Tours will also miss a striker, Tandia 25 app 3 goals 1 assist, and they will also welcome back 2 players, DM Agouazi and RB Diakite.

Basically both teams will be pretty close to full strength, but i think the home advantage, the quality difference and the motivation of a team chasing promotion, and very well organized under Bradley, will be enough to clinch the 3 points today.

Odds above evens clearly represent value, and i will not hesitate to take them. Currently we even get above 2.10, but I don’t think it will hold for long. Logical, my prediction is a home Le Havre win. As usual, the bet will have flat stakes of 8 units for me.
