Le Havre will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 6 points behind Lorient.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Lorient have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 19-7-16 (win-draw-loss) from 42 matches.
