Le Havre-Lille

Le Havre face a challenging encounter against Lille, given the recent form and historical context. Lille have had a dominant run in their head-to-head meetings with Le Havre, consistently winning both home and away fixtures. The most recent clashes saw Lille securing solid victories, indicating a trend that might continue.

Le Havre’s recent matches have been a mixed bag, with significant losses notably against Monaco and PSG. Their defensive vulnerabilities are apparent, conceding multiple goals in several matches. On the other hand, Lille, despite their occasional inconsistency, have shown they can find the back of the net regularly, highlighted by a high-scoring draw against Strasbourg.

For this match, Lille are favored to win, buoyed by their superior head-to-head performance and current goal-scoring ability. Both teams to score does not seem likely, given Le Havre’s recent difficulties in penetrating stronger defenses and Lille’s relatively better defensive record in their wins. As such, this game might see fewer goals overall, staying under the 2.5 goal mark.
