Le Havre predicted XI v Lille: André Ayew leads the line
Luka Elsner will look to make a couple of changes from Le Havre AC’s 1-0 defeat at home to Stade Rennais, to accommodate the side shifting away from a 4-4-2 and towards a 4-3-3 formation.
The backline remains unchanged from the defeat as Elsner goes with a settled list in defence, whilst in midfield Loïc Nego moves from the wide position into a more central role to join the central three, allowing for the addition of Antoine Joujou to be included into the side.
André Ayew completes the changes as the former Olympique de Marseille and Swansea City man will take up the mantle as his team’s lone number nine. Ayew has only made seven appearances for the club he joined in November after being released from Nottingham Forest in the summer but has already returned two goals in just 105 minutes of game time.
