Le Havre – Toulouse: Normandy’s fortress faces Toulouse 
Sunday, Stade Océane will be ground zero for Le Havre’s survival fight. Unbeaten at home in 2026, they welcome an ambitious Toulouse still chasing European spots despite a recent stumble. Expect a tactical, tight scrap — defence versus attacking flashes.
Le Havre: home is the safe place 
Survival is being built at home. Seventeen of their 23 points have come at Stade Océane — that tells you everything. Didier Digard’s side are four home matches unbeaten and have won two of their last three home fixtures.
Even better: the defence holds. They’ve conceded one goal or fewer in ten home games this season. Few teams come to Normandy and breathe easy.
The 2-1 win over Strasbourg last weekend reinforced that stoutness. There’s one small stain though — Le Havre still haven’t strung together two straight home league wins this season. This is a golden chance to fix that. And note: they’ve let in only one first-half goal across their last five home outings. Compact, patient, awkward to break down.
Toulouse: pushing for Europe, soft at the death 
The loss at Angers left a mark — an 89th-minute goal and no points. That cruel script has happened three times this season for Carles Martinez’s men; they keep getting punished late.
They sit eighth but are well placed: one point behind Rennes for a Conference League spot, three behind Lille for the Europa League. The European dream is still alive, even if the attack has gone cold — no goals in the last two rounds and just one in three matches in all competitions.
On the road, though, Toulouse travel well. No back-to-back away defeats in the league this season. And their recent record at Le Havre is solid: unbeaten in eight of their last nine competitive trips here, including a 4-1 win at this stadium last season.
Likely line-ups
Le Havre : Diaw ; Doucoure, Lloris, Sangante ; Nego, Gourna-Douath, Kechta, Koffi ; Ndiaye ; Soumare, Boufal
Toulouse : Restes ; Sidibe, Cresswell, Nicolaisen ; Messali, Casseres, Vossah, Donnum ; Emersonn, Gboho ; Hidalgo
Football Prediction Le Havre vs Toulouse
Le Havre or draw
Solid at home, organised and rarely opened up, Le Havre have what it takes to extend their home unbeaten run in 2026. Toulouse have the players who can decide a match, but their recent finishing issues could blunt them. Expect a tight duel and another stubborn display from the hosts.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis — nothing more. It’s our take at a moment in time, not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable: a red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the match script changes.
- Let’s be blunt: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something looks obvious, it’s not. Yes, you can lose. You will at some point.
- Be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should be entertainment, not a job or a revenue stream. If it takes over your life or stresses you out, step back. Speak to a specialist if necessary — that’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, it’s your responsibility. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must follow your local laws. Gambling can spiral (loss of money, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
