Analysis
Le Havre make the trip to Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau to face Nantes in Ligue 1, Regular Season - 13. The match kicks off on Sunday 26 November 2023 at 14:00 UTC.
Current Form
Nantes's overall Ligue 1 record this term: 4W 2D 4L from 10 games (1.40 PPG). Last five: W W L L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.90 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Nantes, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau, Nantes have gone 3W 3D 4L this season (10 games, 1.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game.
Le Havre (all games): 3W 5D 2L across 10 Ligue 1 outings this term — 1.40 points per game. Last five: L D D W D. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Le Havre, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Le Havre's away record: 3W 5D 2L from 10 road trips in Ligue 1 this season (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.40 PPG for Nantes against 1.40 for Le Havre. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
Trading & In-Play
Nantes — key trading statistics (50 games, 25 at home): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
Le Havre — key trading statistics (50 games, 25 at away): they score before half-time in 52% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 32% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 52% of the time; they fail to score in 32% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Nantes 50% versus Le Havre 38%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Nantes 50% | Le Havre 32%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Nantes 1.53 xG and Le Havre 1.01 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Nantes attack 1.093 / defence 1.164 | Le Havre attack 0.837 / defence 1.026. League average goals — home 1.366 / away 1.037. Data: 50 Nantes games / 12 Le Havre games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Nantes 47% | Draw 30% | Le Havre 23%. Fair-value odds: Nantes 2.13 | Draw 3.33 | Le Havre 4.35. Nantes hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Nantes are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Nantes if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.54 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 47% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Nantes 50% | Le Havre 50%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau, Regular Season - 13, as Nantes and Le Havre drew 0-0 in the Ligue 1. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Nantes 1.53 xG and Le Havre 1.01 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Nantes fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Le Havre landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nantes attack 1.09 / defence 1.16 against Le Havre attack 0.84 / defence 1.03, drawn from 50/12 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Nantes 47% | Draw 30% | Le Havre 23%, with Nantes to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 74% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 41% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nantes 50%, Le Havre 32%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 44%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Nantes's trading profile (50 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Le Havre's trading profile (50 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 52% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Le Havre arrived the stronger side — 1.80 PPG against 1.00. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Nantes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.28 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.44 average — tighter than their form line. Le Havre (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.16 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
