Le Havre at 15/8 with

Last updated: Thursday 12th October 2006

Despite just one defeat in their opening 10 matches in Ligue 2 this term, Le Havre travel to lowly Istres on Friday as slight underdogs in the eyes of the bookies.

That seems strange given that Istres have won just twice to date and that Le Havre are top scorers in the division with 20 goals already.

Key to their success has been the strike pairing of Jean-Michel Lesage and Kandia Traore, with 13 goals between them to date.

That compares very favourably with Istres, who have scored just seven goals in 10 games and conceded 17 and have also lost their last four matches in league and cup.

The 15-8 available for the away win with Ladbrokes looks a big price for a team that should really warrant favouritism.
