Contents
- Competition: Ligue 1
- Date: Sunday, 14th January 2024
- Kickoff: 16:05 UTC / 17:05 CET
- Venue: Stade Océane (Le Havre)
Having made their return to Ligue 1, Le Havre’s primary objective for the 2023/24 season is to stave off relegation. At the midpoint of the season, they find themselves a mere five points clear of the relegation zone. Despite their precarious position, Luka Elsner’s squad has struggled in recent performances, securing just two victories from their previous seven fixtures across all competitions. Their latest game saw a narrow 2-1 cup victory on home turf against Caen. Although a more dominant win was likely anticipated by Le Havre’s supporters, the critical takeaway is that Elsner’s squad advanced to the subsequent round. Despite their recent lacklustre performances, this victory could serve as a confidence booster for Le Havre.
The season proved to be a prolonged ordeal for Lyon. However, after spending most of the year in the relegation zone, their performance improved, eventually pulling them out of the danger zone. Pierre Sage’s squad clinched victories in their last four matches, suggesting a potentially safer standing in the near future. In their latest match, Lyon triumphed with a 3-0 away victory in the cup against Pontarlier. As Pontarlier is a lower-ranking team in French football, Lyon had no difficulty in securing yet another win.
Le Havre vs Lyon pick: Lyon to win
Le Havre is struggling to score goals, having only managed eight in their last 12 matches. Conversely, Lyon has been defensively strong, not conceding any goals in their past four games. Given Lyon’s recent impressive performance, it’s reasonable to anticipate a victory for them in their upcoming Sunday evening match against Le Havre.

Le Havre team news
Over the next few weeks, Andre Ayew, Mohamed Bayo, and Abdoulaye Toure will be absent from Le Havre due to international duty. Ayew has only participated in four games, while Bayo and Toure have played a significant role in most Ligue 1 matches this season. Their absence may pose a considerable impact. Rassoul Ndiaye will also be absent from Le Havre after receiving a red card in the last game. The team’s depth could be tested under these circumstances, and it will be intriguing to see how head coach, Luka Elsner, navigates these challenges. Answers will begin to unfold during Sunday afternoon’s match against the in-form Lyon team.

Lyon team news
Lyon will be missing two players, Ernest Nuamah and Mama Balde, who are participating in the African Cup of Nations. Balde typically comes off the bench, but Nuamah, having played in 14 out of 17 league games this season, could be a significant loss. In their forthcoming match against Le Havre, Lyon will also be without Dejan Lovren due to suspension and Johann Lepenant due to a knee injury.
