Prediction

Strasbourg

2 : 1

Le Havre

Strasbourg's top-four hopes suffered a blow last week as they fell to a surprise 2-1 loss at Angers, a result that ended a 12-game unbeaten run. They are unbeaten in 10 in the league at home, winning seven.
Le Havre conceded twice late on against Marseille last weekend and combined with Saint-Etienne's win over Reims, they are just one point above the second automatic relegation spot. They are not to be underestimated on the road having won four of their last six away matches.
Strasbourg need to win to boost their top-four chances, and should just edge this one, though Le Havre are not to be taken lightly.
