Lyon on a roll in Ligue 1 2026/2027
Olympique Lyonnais are 1.59 favourites for this weekend's Ligue 1 2026-2027 home clash with Le Havre AC, but Didier Digard's side will have a solid chance of getting something if Les Gones play at their worst.
Lyon recorded last weekend's 2-0 away win at FC Toulouse, following a 3-0 home victory over AC Sparta Praha and a 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce SK in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026. Les Gones have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches overall, and Paulo Fonseca's proactive system, which prioritises possession and control and then speeds into vertical play when space opens up, is beginning to take effect.
A livewire Malick Fofana, who has scored 1 goal in 1 Ligue 1 2026/2027 game, can give Lyon the edge up top, and Corentin Tolisso has already supplied 1 assist in 1 game. Ciel&Marine, on the other hand, are a team of compact players who operate with a risk-off strategy and look to spring the counter-attack as quickly as possible.
Compacting can contain Lyon
Le Havre's away form is decent, with Ciel&Marine averaging 1.17 goals scored per away game and only 1.00 conceded in their previous 6 road games in all competitions. Digard's men will do everything to stay compact and keep the game tight, and it could get tight if Lyon don't grab the game early on.
The draw is a runner in this one and it's the second choice in the match result market at 4.66, but a Lyon win to nil seems more likely than the 1.59 price reflects. Lyon's home record across all competitions has been strong, with Les Gones winning 4 and losing 1 of their five matches at the Groupama Stadium. Le Havre's last 2 games were a 3-2 away loss to Real Oviedo and a 1-0 win at Le Mans FC, which leaves Digard's team in decent shape overall, but inconsistent.
Lyon are the obvious choice here, but Lyon have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per home game in all competitions, which suggests a back four that can be opened up. The best bet is to back the hosts to win, but Le Havre's compact shape can keep this close enough to surprise many punters and perhaps the bookmakers too.
