Win 2

Le Havre has shown mixed results this season after being promoted to Ligue 2 last season. They have something to celebrate entering this game as they have secured four victories in their last five matches. Steve Ngulu's goal in the 45th minute in their last game led Le Havre to a 1-0 victory over Châteauroux in the Coupe de France. Although it was their first clean sheet in seven matches, Le Havre will be confident in their chances of securing a fourth consecutive win. In their previous league game, the visitors also achieved a huge scalp by defeating struggling giants Lyon 3-1. Thanks to that victory, their overall record this season stands at five wins, seven draws, and six losses. With aspirations of spending two consecutive seasons in Ligue 1 for the first time since 2000, a win against Lorient would provide a tremendous boost. Le Havre hopes that Emmanuel Sabbi will continue his impressive form, having scored three goals in the last six league matches. On the other hand, Lorient has been displaying weak results and is suffering from a streak of defeats. They have only managed two victories in the first round of matches, and their game has not improved. Clearly, Le Havre is the more motivated and successful team at the moment. They have won their last four matches and managed to defeat opponents like Lyon. Considering Le Havre's advantage in form, motivation, and scoring ability, a victory against Lorient is expected.

TO (2.5)

In the match of the French championship between Lorient and Le Havre, we can expect an active game and plenty of goals.

Lorient has a good selection of players and the home field advantage, which could give them the upper hand. However, Le Havre will not be left behind and will strive to earn points in this match. Therefore, an active game and plenty of goals from both teams are expected. The odds for a total over 2.5 are high, confirming this assessment. Thus, my prediction for this match is a total over 2.5 goals.
