On Sunday, October 20, 2024, Le Havre and Lyon go head-to-head in a crucial Ligue 1 match at Stade Oceane. Le Havre, who are struggling to stay afloat in the league, face a resurgent Lyon side that has been on a winning streak.
Le Havre, under the management of Didier Digard, have been through a tough patch, losing their last four consecutive matches. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Brest and a 3-0 loss to Lille have highlighted significant issues both in attack and defense. The team has managed only one goal in their last four games, and their home record has been dismal, losing 11 of their last 14 matches at Stade Oceane.
On the other hand, Lyon, coached by Pierre Sage, have turned their season around after a slow start. They have won their last four games across all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Nantes and a 4-1 win against Rangers in the Europa League. Lyon have been clinical in their performances, scoring multiple goals in each of their last five outings.
Lyon will be without defender Duje Caleta-Car due to suspension and Clinton Mata due to injury. Le Havre, meanwhile, will miss Andy Logbo and Josue Casimir due to injuries, and Youte Kinkoue due to suspension.
Predictions favor Lyon to win, given their recent form and head-to-head record against Le Havre. Lyon have won six of their last eight meetings with Le Havre, and their current momentum suggests they are likely to continue their winning streak.
