Lyon vs Le Havre Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Lyonnais will host Le Havre AC at the Groupama Stadium on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with both sides looking to correct their course after contrasting opening weeks. Their last matchup on March 15, 2026, ended in a hard-fought 0-0 draw. Lyon are completely dominant at home in this fixture, remaining unbeaten against Le Havre on home soil since December 1997 (W5, D2).
Lyon:
Paulo Fonseca’s men started their domestic season strongly with a 2-0 victory away at Toulouse. However, they suffer from a European hangover after a painful midweek 2-1 home loss to Fenerbahçe (3-2 on aggregate), which officially knocked them out of UEFA Champions League qualifying. Left-back Abner Vinícius is a doubt after limping off in midweek.
Lyon (4-3-3): Greif – Maitland-Niles, Niakhaté, Kluivert, Tagliafico – Morton, Tessmann, Tolisso – Nuamah, Openda, Fofana.
Le Havre:
Under the guidance of Didier Digard, the visitors started their campaign with a 1-0 home defeat against Monaco. They are hunting for their first points and goals of the season. The team faces an uphill battle with several injuries, including Yanis Zouaoui, who had to be substituted early last week.
Le Havre (4-3-3): Diaw – Négo, Sangante, Seko, Sasso – Boufal, Gourna-Douath, Ndiaye – Koffi, Soumaré, Samatta.
