Bookies Think the Game Could Go Either Way

With an approximate 45% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their +123 betting odds for Le Havre triumphing in this Ligue 1 encounter. Lorient are regarded as the least likely winner at +230.

The Total Goals market is a great option and Under 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds right now. There are always two Both Teams to Score choices, with Yes available at -118 and No at -115.
