Le Havre vs Lorient Prediction & Betting Tips (21 September)

Le Havre is struggling to take off. Defeated on 3 of his first 4 outings, including last weekend at the end of the suspense on the lawn of Strasbourg 1-0, the Norman club is 13th with 3 points. This contribution dates back to August 31, the date of its only victory, against Nice 3-1. A few months after having avoided a relegation dam in extremis, the sky and navy are already playing elbows in the second half of the ranking. Before Strasbourg, they fell at the opening of the championship in Monaco 3-1 and against Lens 1-2.

Lorient was keen to appear well for his return to Ligue 1, which is not the case for the moment. The Merlus certainly crushed Rennes in a Breton derby 4-0 last month but these points are the only ones they pocked in 4 days. Since then, Olivier Pantaloni's team has undergone the Lille law at home 1-7, hosting the 7 goals in the second half, and suffered a new defeat on a river score on Friday, in Marseille 4-0, where the break was already done at halftime. Worse defense of the championship with already 12 goals conceded, Lorient is virtual barragist 16th place. 

Sucked by injuries in these first weeks of competition, Le Havre saw its Taulier Touré coming out prematurely against Strasbourg. The midfielder is uncertain for the reception of Lorient in which all the executives will take part. Among them, the precious Doucouré in the right corridor, Kechta in the heart of the game and submarked a higher notch. The last city is the only Le Havre striker to have marked on the first days.

 Lorient must do without the left side Yongwa, suspended, which will allow Kouassi to return to the starting eleven. Isaak Touré (central defender), Katseris (right piston), Fadiga (attacking midfielder) and the offensive recruit Sanusi should stay on the tile while Pagis (1 goal) and the Adjei defender resumed the collective training path at the start of the week. If Pagis postulates, Adjei should need more time to find the group, almost a year after its last match. 

• Summary: Le Havre is going head to head with Lorient starting on 21 Sept 2025 at 15:15 UTC at Stade Oceane stadium, Le Havre city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
