Montpellier - Le Havre prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - April 6, 2025
The 28th round of the French Championship will be played on Sunday at the Stade de la Mosson, where the local Montpellier will host Le Havre. I suggest betting on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Montpellier continues its descent into the abyss: the team suffered its eighth consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, losing in the last round to Auxerre by the narrowest of margins, 0-1. Moreover, in the last five matches, the team failed to score even once against their opponents—a streak of dry defeats has reached a critical mark. The "Paladins" have not kept their net untouched even once this season, and their negative record with conceded goals has already reached 33 consecutive games.
The club's defense is a complete failure—62 goals conceded, the second-worst record in the championship after Saint-Étienne (63). It's no surprise that the team is at the bottom of the table, trailing the 15th place by 11 points. At home, Montpellier also does not shine: in the last eight matches at their stadium, only one win, two draws, and five losses.
Le Havre, in the last round, delivered a spectacular match, defeating Nantes with a score of 3-2. However, this victory did not allow the team to escape the relegation playoff zone—the team still occupies the 16th place in the Ligue 1 table. Like Montpellier, Le Havre's defensive fortifications are far from ideal: the team has been conceding for 15 consecutive matches in the championship.
However, the visitors have shown noticeable progress upfront—the team has scored at least once in the last eight Ligue 1 rounds. And in the last three away matches, they have not left the field with less than two goals scored. Overall, Le Havre holds its own on the road: only one defeat in the last five matches, with two wins and two draws.
Probable line-ups
- Montpellier: Benjamin Lecomte – Falaye Sacko, Bamo Meïté, Modibo Sagnan, Issiaga Sylla – Téji Savanier, Jordan Ferri, Joris Chotard, Othman Maamha – Tanguy Koulibaly, Nicolas Pëpé
- Le Havre: Arthur Desmas – Loïc Négo, Aruna Sangante, Gautier Lloris, Timothée Pembélé – Junior Mwanga, Abdoulaye Touré, Issa Soumaré, Yassine Kechta, Josué Casimir – André Ayew
