Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this fixture will deliver 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Lens and Le Havre haven't typically treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Ligue 1 individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.36.
