REF’s picks

Lille return to home comforts at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy needing a response, and hosting bottom-placed Le Havre provides an ideal opportunity to assert control. While Le Havre have shown stubbornness on their travels, the hosts possess superior individual quality through creators like Maurits Kjærgaard and should comfortably cover the handicap.

1. 1Lille hold a strong historical home record against Le Havre and sit comfortably higher in the early Ligue 1 standings.
2. 2Le Havre have shown they can keep games tight on the road, holding Lyon earlier in the campaign.
3. 3Lille face a tight turnaround with an upcoming European fixture, which could impact their intensity late in the match.
