Lens vs Le Havre Prediction & Betting Tips (6 April)

Noticed in the first part of the season on the European scene with some good performances in the Champions League, Lens hopes to find a ticket for a continental competition next year. For this, Racing must try to perform as well as possible in this championship where it currently occupies 6th place in the ranking, with a small point behind 5th place. The Sang et Or were still in the race for the podium a few weeks ago after being able to beat Lyon 0-3 and Brest 1-0. But they have just put together two poor performances by losing against Nice 1-3 and especially Lille, in the Northern derby, last Friday 2-1. For its part, Le Havre obviously does not have the same aspirations as its opponent of the day and above all he seeks to glean a few points here and there to get closer to the only major objective of his season: maintenance.

Everything still remains to be done for the promoted team who occupy a rather uncomfortable 15th place in the ranking, with only one small point ahead of the Lorient play-off. In real poor form since the beginning of February, Hac has just lost 6 times in the last 7 days. The Normans thought they had revived by winning against Toulouse 1-0 but they quickly fell back in the following matches against Clermont 2-1 and Montpellier 0-2.

The long-term absentee Cabot has yet to withdraw from this game while the striker Guilavogui and the young full-back who arrived this winter Chavez have not been called up. On the other hand, defensive executives Gradit and Machado (return from injury), as well as replacement defender Khusanov, who was suspended, return to the group. Author of his team's only goal in the derby last Friday, the former Montpellier player Wahi scored his 7th goal of the season, which makes him the most decisive player in this team ahead of his friend Saïd (6 goals) and the formidable Sotoca (5 goals). If we put aside the young striker replacing Logbo, everyone is on deck on the Le Havre side for this trip to Bollaert.

Indeed, the very interesting midfielder Targhalline will be back after being suspended during the Montpellier reception. We should undoubtedly find in the 11 the Russian playmaker Kuzyaev (2 goals, 2 assists) as well as the experienced striker André Ayew (3 goals) who could be associated with the Guinean Bayo (4 goals). The latter has not scored since his return from the CAN in February.
