Le Havre vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2024
Le Havre will host Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Oceane on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late but remain hopeful of retaining their top-flight status for another season. They were beaten 1-0 by Stade Reims in their last league outing but returned to winning ways last weekend with a 2-1 home win over Caen in the Coupe de France.
Le Havre sit 11th in the table with 19 points picked up so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally come Sunday.
Olympique Lyonnais endured a disastrous start to their season but look to have finally found their feet in recent weeks. They beat Nantes 1-0 last time out in Ligue 1, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring the sole goal of the game before beating Pontarlier 3-0 in the domestic cup last Sunday.
The visitors sit 15th in the league table with 16 points from 17 matches and will look to continue their winning streak when they play this weekend.
