On Friday night, two teams looking to move away from Ligue One’s relegation zone. Le Havre and Lens clash at the Stade Oceane.

Le Havre

The home team has made a mixed return to Ligue One after winning promotion from the second tier last season.

Luka Elsner’s team is currently in 13th place in the table, having claimed nine points from their eight league games this season.

Things have taken a turn for the worst in recent league outings, illustrated by back-to-back Ligue One defeats against Lille and Marseille.

The match against OM continued a high-scoring trend for Le Havre in the French top flight, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of their eight league games this season.

Le Havre’s home results this season have been wildly inconsistent, as they have won two and lost two of their four league games in front of their own fans.

Lens

The visitors have recovered from a nightmare start to their campaign by mounting a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

A 1-1 home draw with Lille last time out in the French top-flight means they are three games unbeaten in Ligue One, although the draw ended a two-game winning run.

Despite their recent renaissance, Lens are still only a point clear of the relegation play-off spot, so there is still plenty of work to do to escape potential disaster this season in Ligue One.

A 1-0 win at Strasbourg last time out at least ended a three-game losing streak for Lens on their travels in the French top-flight.

The game also ended a run of high-scoring games away from home in Ligue One, as their previous five matches had all produced over 2.5 goals.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts Le Havre will end Lens's recent decent run in a low-scoring encounter to move away from Ligue One’s bottom three.
