Lille vs LE Havre

Le Havre have won only their second away game against Lille in 19 meetings (D6 L11), their first win since September 1951 (3-1). This is also the longest gap between two away wins for them against the same opponent : 73 years, 4 months and 22 days.

Lille have lost three of their last six games in all competitions (W2 D1), after going unbeaten in their previous 21 (W11 D10).

Lille lost their first Ligue 1 home game after eight without a defeat (W5, D3). They conceded a goal in their last five league games at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, their longest streak without a clean-sheet in the same season since December 2017-May 2018 (11).

Lille have kept a clean sheet in 54% of their Ligue 1 games against Le Havre (20/37), their highest such percentage against a current top-flight team. LOSC have conceded only one goal against HAC in seven top-flight encounters in the 21st century (a direct free kick from Hassane Alla in 2008).

Lille have only lost one of their 18 Ligue 1 home games against Le Havre (W11 D6), in September 1951 (1-3).

Lille are currently fourth in the Ligue 1 table with 35 points (W9 D8 L3) after 20 games this season, exactly the same place and results they recorded last season when LOSC ended in the same final position (4th).

Le Havre have lost each of their 10 games against the teams currently ranked in the top half of the Ligue 1 table this season.

After hosting Feyenoord (in the UEFA Champions League), St Etienne (Ligue 1) and Dunkerque (Coupe de France), Lille will play four consecutive encounters in all competitions at home for only the second time over the last 50 years, after doing so in January-February 2011 (4).
