Le Havre thought they were going undefeated for a second game in a row after upsetting the odds against Nice, but Strasbourg had other ideas, nicking a 91st-minute penalty to steal all three points last matchday. With three defeats in four outings, Didier Digard’s men are under pressure to deliver at home.
Lorient are in no better shape, conceding 11 goals alone in their previous two losses to Lille and Marseille. Les Merlus possess the league’s worst defensive record so far, and remain winless in four straight away competitive outings.
Both sides are struggling at the moment, and it is difficult to look beyond a result where they share a point apiece. Expect a hard-fought draw to play out at Stade Oceane.
