Le Havre vs Stade Brestois 29: Stade Brestois 29 to win
Le Havre's modest 1.35 xG meets Brest's sharper 2.0, while the model hands Brest a 52.5% win chance. Both sides bring contrasting recent form, but the numbers tilt the balance toward the visitors.
Le Havre host Stade Brestois 29 in a Ligue 1 clash where scoring efficiency and recent results set the tone. With Le Havre's home goals‑for average stuck at zero, the French side must find a way past a Brest side that has been hitting the back of the net at a steady two goals per game on the road.
Robbo's Verdict
The model’s 52.5% win probability, driven by Brest’s higher expected goals and recent scoring consistency, makes a visitor win the most compelling outcome.
Show the maths

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Le Havre at 25.8%, the draw at 21.7%, and Stade Brestois 29 at 52.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Le Havre
Le Havre’s recent trio of results includes a 2‑0 away win over Lorient, a 0‑1 home loss to Monaco, and a 1‑1 draw away at Lyon. The win and draw show they can keep games tight, but the loss and low scoring rate (zero home goals‑for average) suggest limited firepower, which weakens their case for a win here.
Stade Brestois 29
Stade Brestois 29’s last four outings feature a 1‑2 home defeat to Strasbourg, 1‑1 home draw with Angers, and consecutive 2‑2 draws away at Le Mans and home at Toulouse. Scoring twice in each of the last three games demonstrates a steady goal threat, reinforcing the model’s view that they are more likely to secure the three points.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Brest have won four times (2‑0 on 8 Mar 2026, 2‑0 on 6 Oct 2024, 1‑0 on 3 Mar 2024, and 1‑0 on 26 Jan 2025) and lost once (1‑0 to Le Havre on 29 Oct 2025), indicating a clear historical edge for Brest that aligns with the current pick.
