Two teams desperate for their first points of the season clash as Le Havre hosts Lens in Ligue 1. Both sides suffered defeats in their opening matches and are eager to get their campaigns up and running. Le Havre, playing at home at the Stade Océane, will be looking to bounce back from their 3-1 loss against Monaco. They face a Lens side that, despite dominating, fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Lyon.
Le Havre's Home Advantage
Didier Digard will be hoping the return of Abdoulaye Touré and the potential debut of Tanzanian striker Ally Samatta can provide the spark his team needs in front of their home fans. Le Havre knows that strong home form will be crucial to their survival hopes this season.
Lens Looking to Convert Dominance
Despite the defeat, Lens showed promise against Lyon. Coach Pierre Sage will be looking for his team to convert their dominance into goals this time around. The team is still integrating new signings, and automatisms are still being developed. However, the performance against Lyon gives fans reason for optimism.
