Monaco-Le Havre

As Monaco prepares to host Le Havre, recent performances and historical encounters provide a clear picture of what to expect. Monaco has shown consistent form with impressive victories over tough opponents like Auxerre and Barcelona, both resulting in clean sheets. Their only minor setback was a draw against Lens.

Le Havre, on the other hand, has had a mixed bag of performances, with notable victories against Auxerre and St Etienne, but substantial losses to stronger teams like PSG and Bochum. This inconsistency could prove costly when facing a well-drilled Monaco side.

In their head-to-head matchups, Monaco and Le Havre have shared an evenly contested history, though recent encounters lean slightly towards Monaco being more defensively solid and capable of grinding out results.

Given their current form and home advantage, Monaco is favored to edge past Le Havre in this fixture. With Monaco’s tendency to lock down defensively and Le Havre’s struggles against comparable opposition, it’s likely that both teams will not find the net. The scoreline should stay under 2.5, considering Monaco’s organized defense and Le Havre’s up-and-down attacking form.
