The action continues in round six of the French Ligue 1 as Le Havre and LOSC Lille square off at the Stade Oceane on Saturday. Bruno Genesio’s men have won their last six games against the hosts and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant run.
Le Havre failed to return to winning ways last Sunday as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against high-flying AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II. This followed a 2-0 loss against Toulouse at the Stadium de Toulouse on September 15 which saw their run of two back-to-back victories come to an end.
While Le Havre will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they have struggled for results on home turf, where they have picked up just six points from the last 21 in the league since March.
LOSC Lille, on the other hand, needed an 84th-minute strike from Jonathan David to salvage a 3-3 draw against Strasbourg at the Stade Pierre Mauroy last Saturday.
Before that, Genesio’s men were on a four-game losing streak in all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat against Sporting Lisbon in their UEFA Champions League opener on September 17.
Lille have picked up seven points from their opening five Ligue 1 matches to sit ninth in the standings, one point and two places above Saturday’s hosts.
Le Havre vs LOSC Lille Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- LOSC Lille have been utterly dominant in the history of this fixture, having picked up six wins and one draw from the previous seven meetings between the two teams.

Le Havre vs LOSC Lille Prediction
Following their blistering start to the season, Lille have suffered a drop-off in form of late and will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result.
Genesio’s men are on a dominant run of form against Le Havre and that should give them the confidence needed to come away with all three points.
