Le Havre vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips (28 September)

For its first season in Ligue 1 for many years, Le Havre did the essential by obtaining its continuation thanks to its 15th final place. This summer, Hac welcomed Didier Digard to its bench, who came to compensate for the departure of Luka Elsner to Reims with the firm intention of doing at least as well as his predecessor. For the moment, the Normans have nothing to be ashamed of this start to the exercise since they have already taken 6 points in 5 days.  Beaten from the start by PSG 1-4 with a very harsh score, the Normans were then able to win their first 2 successes of the season against Saint-Etienne 0-2 and Auxerre 3-1 before falling to Toulouse 2-0. Last Sunday, the residents of Stade Océane contained AS Monaco for a long time before giving in in the second half 3-1. On the other side of the median, Lille had a successful month of August by validating their ticket for the Ligue des Champions by eliminating Fenerbahce and Slavia Prague in quick succession.

But it has been much more difficult since then for Losc who were logically dominated last week by Sporting for their entry into the running during the main round of C1 2-0. In the championship, the Mastiffs have also encountered some difficulties for some time. Dominated by PSG 1-3 and Saint-Etienne 1-0, they did not come far from a 3rd defeat in a row in Ligue 1 last week against Strasbourg 3-3. In the ranking, they are only in 9th position in the ranking.

As during the trip to Monaco, the young Logbo risks having to miss the call. On the other hand, the Moroccan striker Housni, who was ill last weekend, should make his return to a group where the young defender Youté-Kinkoué and the more experienced Confais or El-Hajjam should not be called up, they who were already ruled out during the last two days. In the heart of the game, the interesting Malian Touré scored twice this season but it was the Russian Kuzyaev who scored his team's only goal last week on the Rock. On the northern side, the midfielder Bentaleb, defender Umtiti, important Ismaily, Icelandic international Haraldsson, Portuguese defender Rafael Fernandes and young midfielder Mukau should all remain unfit for this trip to Stade Océane.

On the other hand, young midfielder Ethan Mbappé could well return to the group after missing the Strasbourg reception. Against Racing, Kosovar international Zhegrova scored twice while Canadian international David scored his second goal of the season in L1, from the penalty spot.
