Le Havre vs Montpellier Prediction, Stats, H2H, Odds & Betting tips

Le Havre and Montpellier, both struggling at the bottom of Ligue 1, are set to clash at Stade Océane on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 17:00. Le Havre began the season with victories over St Étienne and Auxerre but have since suffered six consecutive defeats. Their recent 1-0 loss to Rennes on October 25 marked their sixth straight defeat, during which they’ve managed to score only once.

Montpellier, meanwhile, are on a four-game losing streak in Ligue 1, conceding 14 goals during this period. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, and they face this match without Stefan Dzodic and Teji Savanier, both serving suspensions.

Given both teams’ defensive struggles and urgent need for points, this encounter is likely to be open and competitive. The absence of key players on both sides may further influence the dynamics of the game. Considering these factors, a draw seems a plausible outcome, with both teams potentially finding the net.

Le Havre vs Montpellier Prediction

In this clash between Le Havre and Montpellier, both sides will be desperate to end their winless streaks in Ligue 1, which could lead to an open and high-energy game. Le Havre’s home advantage and Montpellier’s recent defensive frailties suggest that both teams may find the back of the net. However, Montpellier, with a slightly stronger attack led by Akor Adams, could edge out the hosts in terms of goal-scoring opportunities, especially with Le Havre missing the suspended Christopher Operi.

Given Montpellier’s ability to score and Le Havre’s tendency to struggle defensively, a narrow win for the visitors seems likely. But with both teams facing similar challenges, a high-scoring draw could also be on the cards if Le Havre capitalize on Montpellier’s defensive lapses. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) appears valuable in this fixture, with a possible scoreline prediction of 2-1 in favor of Montpellier or a 2-2 draw.
