Lille team overview
Last season Lille had an excellent season, finishing 3rd and securing the Champions League main phase. However, after coach Bruno Genesio left and young Davide Ancelotti arrived, many football pundits had their doubts about that move. However, it seems it was the right move considering they won 10 points in five rounds. They ruined the overall picture of the season with a 2:1 loss in the last game to Nice, but it was an overall good start regardless.
Ethan Mbappé was called up to the France U21 NT but suffered an injury after only 12 minutes against Estonia U21 and had to leave the camp. At the moment, the young winger is listed as questionable. Meanwhile, Hamza Igamane and Tanguy Nianzou should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Le Havre team overview
Le Havre barely secured survival last season, finishing only three points away from the danger zone. This season, the goal is once again the same - to somehow survive. However, that won't be an easy task, given the fact that they are at the bottom of the league with only two points from five rounds. Still, maybe a big 6:1 win over Boulogne in a friendly match during the international break could change the negative momentum, and they could win their first game of Ligue 1.
Good news for Le Havre is that none of the players called up for the national teams returned with injuries. However, Timothée Pembélé, Lionel Mpasi, Félix Mambimbi, and Abdoulaye Toure should remain sidelined. Meanwhile, Elias Jelert is questionable with a minor thigh injury.

Prediction
Lille won three out of six games across competitions this season. They looked strong in most games, proving they can play with anyone. A 2:2 draw with PSG pretty much showed just how good they are given the fact they were super close to winning all three points.
On the other hand, Le Havre were atrocious, winning two points in five rounds with only four goals scored. Their overall stats are pretty bad, but the offense looks particularly poor, given that they created the 3rd-fewest "big chances" in Ligue 1.
In the previous ten h2h games, Lille won eight times, while covering the -1.5 AH spread on four occasions. Considering all the above, Lille should secure a comfortable home win in this Ligue 1 tie.
3 Reasons why Lille should win and cover the -1 AH spread
- Lille won three out of five Ligue 1 games
- Lille won eight out of ten h2h games
- Le Havre won two points in five Ligue 1 games
