- Competition: Ligue 1
- Date: Saturday, 28th September 2024
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Stade Océane (Le Havre)
Last season was turbulent for Le Havre, but they finished with three points more than the drop zone and survived in Ligue 1. Le Havre are again one of the weakest teams in the strongest French division, so avoiding relegation again would be seen as a success. Didier Digard's team could be satisfied with the first five league rounds as they picked up six points so far. In the previous game, Le Havre lost 3-1 on the road against Monaco. The home side finished the match with an xG of 1.78, while guests had only 0.38, so Monaco's victory was well-deserved.
After finishing fourth last season, Lille's expectations are to at least repeat that success. Bruno Genesio's team started the 2024/25 season with four wins in five matches in all competitions, but since then, Lille have recorded one draw and four defeats. Last weekend, they played 3-3 at home against Strasbourg. That was another disappointing result, and Lille certainly hopes to turn their fortune on Saturday in Le Havre.
Le Havre vs Lille pick: Both teams to score - yes
Le Havre scored at least one goal in four of the last five matches. On the other hand, Lille scored at least one goal in six of the previous eight games. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.

Le Havre team news
Le Havre lost for the weekend in Monaco, but the head coach, Didier Digard, was very satisfied with his team's performance. He said, "Above all, the players must not have the slightest doubt, quite the contrary. They can be very proud; we are going to work to correct what we lack. But to be able to look a team like Monaco in the eye, away, is really a good thing for us."
Andy Logbo is injured and will not play on Saturday against Lille.

Lille team news
Lille is without a win five matches in a row, and there are concerns around the team. After a 3-3 draw in the previous round, the head coach Bruno Genesio said, "To say that I am not worried would be irresponsible. But there are still signs that give me strength and hope."
One of the potential issues is the number of absentees for Lille. They will be without Ethan Mbappe, Ngal'ayel Mukau, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Ismaily, Nabil Bentaleb, and Samuel Umtiti on Saturday in Le Havre.
