General match analysis
I predict a Lille win (1) — hosts are 4th in the table versus Le Havre 14th; across the season Lille has 17 wins compared to Le Havre’s 6. Form: Lille scored 10 goals in the last 5 matches, with 4 wins and 1 draw, averaging 2.6 points per game; Le Havre in their last 5 have 0 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, scoring 9 and conceding 10 goals and averaging 0.8 points per game. Chance creation at home: Lille averages 14.47 shots (4.53 on target), has a conversion rate of 11%, xG 1.67 and scores 1.53 goals per home game; Le Havre away averages 10.6 shots (3.47 on target), a 6% conversion, xG 1.22 and scores 0.6 goals per away game. Defensively Lille concedes 0.93 goals at home (xG against 1.01) and keeps a clean sheet in 40% of matches, whereas Le Havre concedes 1.67 away (xG against 1.65), has only 20% clean sheets and fails to score in 53% of away games. Based on these numbers I give Lille a 75% chance to win, draw 15% and Le Havre 10%, because the home side’s superiority in creating and converting chances and the fact Lille have conceded only 1 goal in their last 5 matches clearly favors the hosts.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The case for 'No' is supported by Lille's defensive form: they have conceded 0.2 goals on average in the last 5 matches (1 goal in 5) and hold a run 'wwwdw', while their season concession rate is 1.06 goals per match. Le Havre score only 0.6 goals per away match on the season, although they have 9 goals in the last 5 (1.8 avg), indicating a short-term offensive uptick with high instability. Seasonal BTTS rates are 63% for Lille and 40% for Le Havre, but the last 5 matches show only 20% BTTS for Lille versus 100% for Le Havre, producing mixed signals — Lille's solid defense is decisive. xG indicates moderate goal potential: Lille xG_for 1.37 vs Le Havre xG_for 1.22, with xG_against Lille 1.29 and Le Havre 1.65; considering actual concessions of 0.2 goals in Lille's last 5 and 0.6 avg away for Le Havre, a match without BTTS is more likely. Therefore I estimate 38% for 'Yes' and 62% for 'No', selecting 'No' as the strongest signal.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The model projects expected goals of 1.51 for Lille and 1.26 for Le Havre (total 2.77), calculated as an average of attack and defense (Lille xG_for 1.37 vs Le Havre xG_against 1.65; Le Havre xG_for 1.22 vs Lille xG_against 1.29). Season-long metrics show Over 1.5 occurred in 63% of Lille’s home matches and 60% of Le Havre’s away games, and a simple Poisson model with lambda=2.77 yields roughly a 76% probability of at least 2 goals (Over 1.5). Over 2.5 is less certain: seasonally Lille have 44% of matches above 2.5 and Le Havre 27%, however in the last 5 matches Lille have Over 2.5 in 60% and Le Havre in 40%, which combined gives an estimated ~52% chance for Over 2.5. Lille averages 12.13 shots and 4.0 on target with a 10% conversion rate, versus Le Havre’s 10.6 shots and 6% conversion; Lille have scored 10 and conceded 1 in the last 5 matches while Le Havre have conceded 10, therefore the strongest signal is Over 1.5.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The most likely scenario is a draw at half-time and a Lille victory at full-time (X/1), which I assign a 37% probability. Lille has a clear form advantage: in their last 5 matches the home side won 80% of games and led at the break in 60% of cases, whereas Le Havre have not won any of their last 5 matches (0%) and led at the break in only 20%. Historically, however, draws at the break are common (Lille were level at half-time in 56% of matches, Le Havre in 53%) and the seasonal average goals by half are 0.56 for Lille versus 0.2 for Le Havre, which supports the draw-by-45-minutes scenario. After the break Lille appears more effective: higher xG 1.37 vs 1.22, better shot conversion 10% vs 6%, and more points gained in second halves (on average 1.81 pts vs 0.8 pts; in the last 5 matches respectively 2.2 vs 1.2), so Lille should decide the match. Additionally, Le Havre concede as many as 7 goals in the 76th–90th minute period this season versus 2 conceded by Lille in the same period, therefore the turnaround after the break in favor of the home team is the strongest scenario.
