Lens will be on the road this Sunday, heading to the Stade Océane to face struggling Le Havre in Ligue 1. Le Havre have dropped to 17th in the standings ahead of this game, while Lens will be 10 places ahead at the start of this match. We have a prediction below.
If Le Havre thought they ended 2024 badly, another false start was on the cards in their 2025 opener. They stumbled away to Marseille, losing 5-1 in their last game.
That defeat took their run to five straight defeats, inclusive of their earlier French Cup loss to Stade Briochin. Andre Ayew’s late strike in the loss to Marseille was their first goal in five matches across all competitions.
Lens also started their 2025 on a losing note, as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Toulouse. That loss came in the aftermath of David Pereira da Costa’s sending off.
It sent the visitors to a run of three matches without a win, having closed 2024 with two draws – one in the French Cup. They would lose on post-match penalties to PSG in the French Cup game.
Ahead of this game though, Lens will rightly take the favorites' place. They do have a significant number of draws in their recent away league matches, but only lost once in the last nine.

Our Le Havre vs Lens Prediction
These two sides haven't met a lot in recent times. Last season they drew in both leagues of their Ligue 1 meetings. Into this game, surprisingly, Le Havre have the better head-to-head record in recent matches.
They are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Lens but here they come as underdogs. In nine league matches away from home, Lens suffered just one defeat yet Le Havre lost seven of 10 home league games. Our prediction for Le Havre v Lens is that Lens wins the match.
