Struggling Le Havre welcome Lille to the Stade Oceane for a Ligue 1 match this Sunday. Le Havre come into this game in 13th place, just three points above the danger zone.
Lille, meanwhile, are up in fourth place and could do with a win to attempt to close the gap with the top three.
So, which side will come out on top this weekend?
Le Havre vs Lille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Lille have largely dominated games with Le Havre in recent years, winning five of their last six meetings. However, the last time these sides faced off, in February 2023, Le Havre did run out 1-2 winners.
- Le Havre's last match saw them easily brushed aside by champions Paris Saint-Germain, who beat them 3-0. The loss has left Le Havre on a three-game winless streak following draws with Toulouse and Nantes.
- Lille will be coming into this game with plenty of momentum. They have not only won their last two games, beating Paris FC in Ligue 1 and Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League, but they've scored eight goals in the process while only conceding two.
- Goals overall have been a strong point for Lille this season, as they have scored 27 thus far, equal to Paris Saint-Germain, with only Marseille recording more to this point. Fascinatingly, none of their players have scored more than four goals, with the 27 spread across 13 different squad members.
- One worry for Le Havre here should be the fact that they've only won two home games this season. However, it is worth noting that they've also only been beaten at home once, and have not lost there since August 24.

Le Havre vs Lille Prediction
While Le Havre perhaps aren't as bad as their recent winless run might suggest, this game seems particularly difficult for them.
Lille are desperate to keep pace near the top of the table right now, and they're on great form, thrashing Paris FC and Dinamo Zagreb in their last two games.
Moreover, because Lille have so many players capable of scoring goals and don't rely on one single star, they're almost even more dangerous, particularly against a side like Le Havre who aren't outstanding defensively.
Overall, then, the prediction is an away win.
Prediction: Le Havre 0-2 Lille
