Le Havre - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Le Havre on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

2.30 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Olympique Lyonnais are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Reims from the previous Ligue 1 fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Nantes, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 5.00. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 1:0.

Our confidence that Olympique Lyonnais will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Olympique Lyonnais’s disappointing form led them to the 15th spot on the table, which is just 4 points away from the relegation zone. The challenging away game that awaits them this Sunday may set them back even further.

The season’s match history shows us these two teams tied in an earlier round. Olympique Lyonnais may be the favourites, but they were unable to get the upper hand despite being the hosts last time.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.45 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
