After barely avoiding relegation last season, Le Havre are against in the same battle. After 16 league rounds, the team from Stade Oceane are four points behind the safety. Le Havre are in a terrible run of five defeats in a row in all competitions and needs one good result urgently. In the first game in 2025, Le Havre lost 5-1 on the road against Marseille. The home side completely outplayed opponents, who didn't have too many chances.
Lens have another solid season. They are seventh on the table, but even the Champions League positions are only four points ahead and Lens could fight for them. Lens have not been playing well lately as they have not had a victory in the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 at home against Toulouse. The home side was the favorite to win, but the guests had better chances and took all three points.
Le Havre vs Lens pick: Under 2.5 goals

Lens team news
Lens have much bigger problems ahead of the match in Le Havre. Ruben Aguilar, Neil El Aynaoui, Remy Labeau Lascary, Facundo Medina, and Martin Satriano are injured and will not play on Sunday. Also, Kevin Danso and David Pereira da Costa are suspended. A few of those players are important for Lens, but Will Still's team is deep enough and they should handle those misses.
