Le Havre – Lorient

Le Havre host Lorient at the Stade Océane with both sides keen to rewrite their narratives. The home side sit 18th in the table, having amassed just two points from two draws and five defeats while conceding 11 goals, a stark contrast to Lorient’s comfortable seventh place, where 11 points have been earned through three wins, two draws and two losses and a modest +1 goal difference. The gap in recent form is evident, yet Le Havre will be desperate to turn their season around on familiar turf, while Lorient will look to extend their push up the table. Their last encounters have been tightly contested, adding an extra layer of intrigue to what promises to be a pivotal clash for both clubs.
