In the match of the 14th round of the French championship, Lille will play away against Le Havre. The leaders of Ligue 1 are making mistakes, so the "dogs" have the opportunity to catch up with them. Currently, the team is in fifth place, trailing Rennes by one point, and Lens by five. But Monaco is level with Lille, Strasbourg is one point behind, and Lyon is two points behind. So in case of defeat, the "dogs" could seriously complicate their fight for a place in the Champions League. Le Havre is far from such dreams – they are striving to avoid the relegation zone and so far are coping with it. The team is in 13th place, trailing Paris by one point, Angers by two, Nice and Toulouse by three, but behind them Brest is just one point away, while Nantes, Lorient, and Metz are three points behind. So the relegation zone still poses a threat to Le Havre. In the previous round, they suffered a heavy defeat to PSG (0:3), and before that, they drew with Nantes (1:1), Toulouse (0:0), and secured victories over Brest (1:0) and Auxerre (1:0). Lille defeated Zagreb's Dinamo (4:0) in the Europa League last week, previously in the championship they defeated Paris (4:2), lost to Strasbourg (0:2), and Crvena Zvezda (0:1) in the European cup. Last season, Le Havre and Lille exchanged away victories. The "dogs" crushed their opponent 3:0, and then lost at home (1:2). By the way, this was Le Havre's first victory over Lille since 1996. A historic event. However, there are not many chances that it will be repeated.
