Le Havre vs Angers: Angers to win
Le Havre's fragile defence meets Angers' potent attack in a Ligue 1 clash where the odds heavily favor the visitors. With Angers boasting a 3.0 expected‑goals rate against Le Havre's 0.5, the model predicts a decisive result.
Both sides come into the match on contrasting recent form. Le Havre have managed just one point from their last three league outings, while Angers have rebounded from a string of setbacks with a convincing 3‑1 win away at Auxerre.
Robbo's Verdict
The model assigns Angers an 86.4% chance of winning, driven by their superior expected goals and Le Havre's defensive record.
Show the maths
With Le Havre averaging 0.5 expected goals and Angers averaging 3.0, the model gives a 62.8% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 37.2% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.5 (Le Havre 0.5 + Angers 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 67.5% chance against 32.5% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Le Havre at 3.7%, the draw at 9.6%, and Angers at 86.4% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-2 at 13.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Le Havre
Le Havre have collected just one point from their last three league games, losing 0‑1 at home to Monaco and then 1‑2 to Stade Brestois 29 after a 1‑1 draw away at Lyon. Those defeats and the low‑scoring output underscore a lack of firepower that makes a win against a high‑scoring Angers unlikely.
Angers
Angers' recent form shows a clear upward trajectory, highlighted by a 3‑1 away triumph over Auxerre and a narrow 1‑1 draw at home against Strasbourg. Even after earlier losses, the ability to score three away goals demonstrates the threat they bring to Le Havre.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Angers have recorded one win (0‑1 on 2024‑12‑01), three draws (including 1‑1 on 2026‑04‑18) and one loss (2‑1 on 2026‑01‑04), indicating a slight edge that aligns with the model's win probability for Angers.
