French Ligue 1
2025-11-30 - Le Havre vs Lille
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade Oceane
Sunday 30th November 2025, 1615hrs (GMT)
13th placed Le Havre rather predictably went down to a 3-0 defeat away from home at the French champions, PSG, in last weekend’s action in the French top flight but the hosts will be eager to return to their Stade Oceane for this Sunday afternoon’s fixture with Lille as Didier Digard’s side look to bounce back with a result of some sort here.
Le Havre had previously strung together a four-game unbeaten sequence which included wins against Auxerre and Brest together with points gained in stalemates with Toulouse and Nantes, so Digard will be pushing his players for a repeat of those performances on Sunday.
The bigger picture certainly looks encouraging from Le Havre’s perspective as the Sky and Navy have lost just two of their last nine games in Ligue 1 - both of which were away from home while their home record reads a stubborn looking 2-3-1 9/7 to date.
Lille currently sit in 5th place in the Ligue 1 table and therefore challenging for a Europa League spot if not a Champions League qualifier place ahead of this weekend’s action in the French top flight.
Lille will make their way to the Stade Oceane on the back of a morale-boosting 4-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League in midweek and the visitors will be keen to replicate that result and performance at Le Havre on Sunday.
However, recent results suggest Lille also possess an inconsistent streak as the visitors have not only picked up four wins but have also slipped to four defeats as well within their last eight matches in all competitions, so as to which Lille outfit turns up on Sunday afternoon is anyone’s guess!
Indeed, Lille possess an away record of 2-1-3 12/11 so far this season.
The Betting Verdict
Le Havre are a battling side and will not give up ground easily so Lille are expected a fight on their hands at the Stade Oceane.
The Pick :
Le Havre 1-1 Lille
