Olympique de Lyon's fortunes failed to improve in the fifth round of Ligue 1, even with a coaching change following Laurent Blanc's departure. Lyon could only manage a draw against newly-promoted Le Havre in the match that concluded the fifth round, continuing their winless run.

In one of their worst starts in club history, Lyon has recorded two draws and three defeats, currently occupying one of the bottom spots in the league standings, just ahead of Clermont and Lens.

On the other hand, Luka Elsner's Le Havre has gone undefeated in their last three matches and finds themselves in the middle of the table, showcasing their resilience in the league.
