Le Havre faces a tough challenge as they host Nice at Stade Océane on February 16, 2025, at 16:15 UTC. With Nice heavily favored at 1.65 odds, our AI-generated best tip confidently backs an away win (2) with a trust level of 9.9/10.

Looking at the numbers, Le Havre's 5.1 odds for a home win suggest they are clear underdogs, while a draw sits at 3.95. Despite Le Havre’s surprising 2-1 away win against Lille on February 8 (with staggering 9.0 odds), Nice’s superior squad value (€219.60m vs. Le Havre’s €67.15m) and form make them the team to beat.

Statistically, away teams win only 29.8% of Ligue 1 matches, but Nice’s dominance this season strengthens their case. The AI predicts a 1-2 final score, with a 1-1 halftime result, suggesting a competitive first half before Nice pulls ahead.

From a tactical standpoint, Nice is expected to control 61% of possession, fire 16 shots (5 on target), and earn 6 corners, compared to Le Havre’s 9 shots (2 on target) and 5 corners. The expected card count is low, with Le Havre likely receiving 2 yellows and Nice just 1.

For goal betting, our AI leans towards Under 3.5 goals (odds 1.38, trust level 4.7/10). Given that only 28.0% of Ligue 1 games exceed 3.5 goals, this seems like a solid pick. Additionally, 51.9% of matches see both teams score, which aligns with the predicted 1-2 scoreline.

Historically, Le Havre shocked Nice with a 3-1 win in their last head-to-head on December 16, 2023, despite Nice being favorites. However, Nice’s recent away form, including a 2-2 draw against Lille on May 19, 2024, suggests they are resilient on the road.

Best Bet: Away Win (2) at 1.65 odds – with AI confidence at 10/10, this is the most reliable pick. For cautious bettors, Under 3.5 goals at 1.38 odds is another viable option. Expect a competitive clash, but Nice should edge this one out.
