Le Havre have been remarkably hard to beat, with five straight league draws and four of those finishing 1-1, so they look set up to keep this tight again at Stade Océane. Olympique Marseille arrive with a mixed run and three defeats in their last five league matches, but they have still shown enough quality to score in the right moments, as seen in the 3-1 win over Metz. With no xG data available, the safest read is a cagey contest where Le Havre’s resilience meets Marseille’s greater attacking threat.
The head-to-head record leans clearly towards Olympique Marseille, who have won four of the last five meetings and scored freely in several of them. Even so, Le Havre’s recent habit of drawing rather than losing suggests they can make this awkward if they stay organised and keep the game level for long spells. Match Prediction: Le Havre 1-2 Olympique Marseille
Form Guide & Team Overview
Le Havre
Le Havre come into this one on a five-match league run of draws, which tells its own story about how difficult they are to break down. They have shared the points with LOSC Lille, Metz, Angers SCO, Nice and Auxerre, and four of those games finished 1-1.
The 4-4 draw with Metz stands out as the only high-scoring outlier in that sequence, but even there Le Havre found a way to stay in the game. Overall, their recent results point to a side that is competitive, organised and rarely out of contention.

Olympique Marseille
Olympique Marseille’s recent league form has been less stable, with three defeats, one draw and one win in their last five. They lost away to Nantes and Lorient, drew at home with Nice, beat Metz 3-1, and also went down 1-2 at Monaco.
That mix suggests Marseille have not been consistently reliable, especially away from home. Still, the win over Metz shows they can be effective when they get on the front foot, and they have enough attacking quality to trouble Le Havre.

Team News & Injury Report

Olympique Marseille
- Bilal Nadir (Hamstring Injury)
Lineups & Tactical Setup
Le Havre (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Mory Diaw (Goalkeeper), Ayumu Seko (Defender), Gautier Lloris (Defender), Loïc Nego (Defender), Yanis Zouaoui (Defender), Fodé Doucouré (Midfielder), Issa Soumaré (Midfielder), Lucas Gourna-Douath (Midfielder), Simon Ebonog (Midfielder), Sofiane Boufal (Midfielder), Ally Samatta (Attacker)
Le Havre’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a compact base, with the double pivot helping protect the back four and keep Marseille’s central runners in check. The three attacking midfielders can then support Ally Samatta quickly when Le Havre look to break out.
Olympique Marseille (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Jeffrey de Lange (Goalkeeper), Emerson (Defender), Facundo Medina (Defender), Leonardo Balerdi (Defender), Tochukwu Nnadi (Defender), Arthur Vermeeren (Midfielder), Hamed Junior Traoré (Midfielder), Mason Greenwood (Midfielder), Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Midfielder), Quinten Timber (Midfielder), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Attacker)
Olympique Marseille’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a strong central spine, with Arthur Vermeeren and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg able to control the middle and feed the attacking line. That should also leave Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with service between the lines and in the box if Marseille move the ball cleanly.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
