Le Havre vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Lens will be on the road this Sunday, heading to the Stade Océane to face struggling Le Havre in Ligue 1. Le Havre have dropped to 17th in the standings ahead of this game, while Lens will be 10 places ahead at the start of this match. We have a prediction below.
If Le Havre thought they ended 2024 badly, another false start was on the cards in their 2025 opener. They stumbled away to Marseille, losing 5-1 in their last game.
That defeat took their run to five straight defeats, inclusive of their earlier French Cup loss to Stade Briochin. Andre Ayew’s late strike in the loss to Marseille was their first goal in five matches across all competitions.
Lens also started their 2025 on a losing note, as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Toulouse. That loss came in the aftermath of David Pereira da Costa’s sending off.
It sent the visitors to a run of three matches without a win, having closed 2024 with two draws – one in the French Cup. They would lose on post-match penalties to PSG in the French Cup game.
Ahead of this game though, Lens will rightly take the favorites' place. They do have a significant number of draws in their recent away league matches, but only lost once in the last nine.

They are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Lens but here they come as underdogs. In nine league matches away from home, Lens suffered just one defeat yet Le Havre lost seven of 10 home league games. Our prediction for Le Havre v Lens is that Lens wins the match.

Shangrila Sports Welcome Bonus
If hundreds of daily live events is what defines a top betting site, then Shangrila fits the bill. The site offers great options with the markets, odds and all. To cap it all, registering with the site comes with a great incentive with the first deposit – a welcome bonus of up to €100. That is just a tip of what the site offers, once registered there’s definitely a lot more to experience.
For a relatively new betting site, Shangrila is clearly doing well. So, let's delve deeper into this promotion that offers a 100% matching welcome bonus.
This promotion matches the first deposit made on the site, to a maximum of €100, with the minimum qualifying deposit being €10, and the major condition to remember is that the wagering requirement is eight times on the bonus and deposit amount.
To activate this bonus, the user basically needs to select ‘Sports Welcome Bonus’ in the deposit tab when making the first deposit on the site and the bonus will automatically populate on the user’s account.
At times a new user may forget to select the bonus when placing the first deposit, but that doesn’t mean this goes unused. In this case, the user simply needs to reach out to the Shangrila customer care before placing any bet, so that the same can be credited.
The 8x wagering demand stated above will have to be complete within 30 days, otherwise any remaining bonus amounts will be forfeited. It is also key to remember that only bets with odds of 1.6 or higher will qualify for the wagering requirement. In the case of multiple bets, each selection will need to have odds on 1.6 and above and one more thing to note, system bets do not qualify.
Bets that don’t qualify can still be staked here but they will not count towards the wagering requirements.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
