The urge to bounce back after the disappointment in Europe must be huge at Lyon. They will have the opportunity for that when they host Le Havre on Sunday. Lyon are unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent, and our prediction is for them to come out top here.
Lyon will be playing in the Europa League after their main draw bid in the Champions League was thwarted in midweek. Les Gones suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Fenerbahce in the UCL playoff return leg, a match that was later marked by ugly confrontations.
They will want to quickly put that behind them and try to build on their league opening 2-0 win against Toulouse.
Le Havre will also have their reasons to want to bounce back here. Their season started on a losing note, as they fell 1-0 to Monaco. They are in line for a second defeat in as many season opening matches should their form against Lyon be extended here.
Le Club Doyen have a poor history in this encounter, though. They’ve only managed one win in their last 12 meetings with Lyon, losing nine times. In three of their last four meetings with Lyon, Le Havre failed to score and they last posted a win away at Lyon in 1997!

Our Lyon vs Le Havre Prediction
There will be a sense of desperation at Le Havre as they look to bounce back following their opening-day loss. Le Club Doyen will come bearing concerns over a poor away run, which has them on just one win in 12. Six of those 12 matches ended in defeat, and they also failed to score six times in those away games.
Lyon will be alert to these details as they seek to bounce back from their Champions League elimination. They have posted four wins in their last six competitive home games. Our prediction for Lyon v Le Havre is for Lyon to win to nil.
