Lille vs Le Havre Recent Results
Lille opened their Ligue 1 campaign unbeaten before a 2-1 loss at Nice last time out took some shine off the start. Call it a blip, not a slump. Ayase Ueda has found the net twice across his last three Ligue 1 outings, and this attack is built on finishing its chances and shooting from distance.
Le Havre's latest setback was a 3-2 loss to Toulouse before the international break. The bigger picture is worse, with just one win in their past seventeen Ligue 1 outings. Mbwana Samatta is the one forward who keeps testing goalkeepers, but he is carrying a lot on his own.

Our Prediction
Our prediction is a 2-1 Lille win. The hosts have a near-full squad, a settled shape and home support, while Le Havre are missing several players and are still without a win. Le Havre take plenty of shots and can nick a goal, but Lille have too much quality going forward for this to stay level.

Lille vs Le Havre Same Game Parlay
Our Lille vs Le Havre same game parlay picks back Ayase Ueda to score, shot props for Tiago Santos and Amir Richardson, and a Dilane Bakwa assist.
Ueda in the Anytime Goalscorer market has found the net twice in his past three Ligue 1 outings, and he leads the line against a defense that struggles with skillful attackers.
Tiago Santos has recorded 1+ shots on target in 4 of 5 recent Ligue 1 outings. Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market needs just one effort from the right back.
Amir Richardson Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market has come through 4 times across his previous 5 games. He gives Le Havre a steady threat from midfield in a side that likes to shoot.
Bakwa is Lille's creative outlet out wide, and Over 0.5 in the Player Assists market fits a player who has registered an assist twice in his past three appearances against this opponent (Ligue 1).

Lille vs Le Havre Talking Points
The real question is what Lille look like with a UEFA Champions League trip to Arsenal up next. This squad rotates its first eleven regularly, and Davide Ancelotti has built his approach around man-management to keep the whole group bought in. Even a rotated Lille should have enough here, but it could get messy. Le Havre play aggressively, and Lille have received 2+ cards in 3 of their last 3 games vs Le Havre (Ligue 1). Le Havre also cross the ball often, and defending set pieces is one of Lille's weak spots, which is the most direct route to a goal for the visitors.
