Le Havre will be looking to register their second home win of the 2024-25 French top flight campaign when they play host to Lyon on Sunday afternoon.
Nothing has gone Le Havre's way in recent weeks. Didier Digard's men have lost each of their last four games, conceding ten goals and scoring just once. What's surprising is the fact that The Dean Club took two wins from their opening three games of the season.
Lyon meanwhile had a very disappointing start to the season with Gones winning just one of their first five games. There have been many improvements of late and Pierre Sage's men go into Sunday's clash on a four-game winning streak in all competitions.
Le Havre vs Lyon Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
These two French sides have met four times in the last decade, with all four encounters taking place in the French top flight. Lyon won two of those meetings, but the most recent encounter earlier this year was won by Havre 4:1.
With that result in mind and the fact that their only win so far this season came at the Stade Océane, the hosts will be fired up for this encounter and I wouldn't rule out their chances of securing at least a point.
Both sides have been unlucky in front of goal this season. In fact, Le Club doyen failed to score in three of their last four games and Lyon didn't score in three of their seven Ligue 1 games so far this season.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Le Havre vs Lyon prediction: 1-1

Le Havre team news
Étienne Youte Kinkoue will miss Sunday’s clash with Lyon due to a suspension. The Centre back is expected to serve the first of his two match ban following the straight red card against Brest prior to the international break.
Le Havre will once again be without long-term absentee Andy Logbo who has been out of action since March due to a cruciate ligament injury.
The hosts’ injury list also includes right winger Josué Casimir and centre-forward Yann Kitala who are nursing ankle and foot injuries, respectively.
