Moses Simon will be at the heart of Nantes’ survival fight as they take on Le Havre in a crucial Ligue 1 encounter. This article features a correct score prediction for this match.
The Nigerian winger has been a driving force for the Canaries this season, racking up six goals and eight assists in 24 league appearances. With his pace, creativity, and eye for goal, Simon remains instrumental in Nantes’ push to secure another crucial three points.
Simon played a pivotal role in Nantes’ last outing before the international break, providing an assist for Mostafa Mohamed’s late winner in a 1-0 triumph over Lille. That result ended a three-game winless run and handed the Canaries a much-needed boost as they look to avoid being dragged deeper into the relegation battle.
Le Havre, currently in the relegation playoff spot, have struggled for consistency all season. With just six wins from 26 games, they remain in danger; against a Nantes side that can be resolute on their day, they must tighten up at the back if they are to take anything from this fixture.
Correct score prediction: Le Havre vs FC Nantes
Nantes have had their fair share of struggles this season, but their recent victory against Lille suggests they still have the resilience to grind out results. The Canaries currently sit six points ahead of Le Havre, and a win at Stade Oceane would go a long way in easing their relegation concerns.
Le Havre, on the other hand, have been inconsistent despite showing flashes of attacking intent. Their defensive frailties, coupled with Nantes’ ability to counter effectively, make for an intriguing encounter.
Prediction: Le Havre 1-2 Nantes
Moses Simon’s creative spark remains crucial for Nantes
Moses Simon has been one of the most influential wingers in Ligue 1 this season, featuring regularly and playing an essential role in Nantes' attacking play. With 1,932 minutes played, he ranks joint-second in the assists chart, just one behind Lyon’s Rayan Cherki.
His direct contributions account for 48% of Nantes’ league goals, underlining his importance to Antoine Kombouare’s side.
As he approaches his 391st club career appearance, Simon is also on the verge of reaching another milestone. The 29-year-old is just one goal away from his 75th career club goal, a landmark he could achieve against Le Havre. His ability to unlock defenses with his pace, dribbling, and vision makes him Nantes’ most dangerous attacking weapon.
