Match preview: Montpellier vs Le Havre
Montpellier and Le Havre face off at Stade de La Mosson, in a match for the 28th round of Ligue 1. The previous encounter saw Le Havre triumph at home with a scoreline of 1-0 on 03-11-2024. In the last three years of direct encounters, the teams have delivered an even split with one draw and one win apiece. It’s crucial to note the disparity in home and away performances, as both teams show significantly different results depending on the venue.
Team analysis: Montpellier
The home team currently occupies 18th place, having garnered 15 points from 4 wins, 3 draws, and 19 losses. Their recent record includes a loss to Lille (1-0) and another defeat against Auxerre (1-0). Montpellier tends to fare better at home, with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at Stade de La Mosson in their last 30 matches; conversely, they have only managed 1 win and 14 losses on their travels. In their last 10 home outings in the league, Montpellier captured just 8 points from a possible 30, with half of those having ended in losses. Notably, they have consistently conceded at least one goal in their last 10 league matches. Most of their home games in this year’s campaign have witnessed at least 2.5 goals being scored, with 11 of the last 13 yielding such figures. This is a side that struggles to take the lead, achieving such a feat in only 2 of their last 26 contests, and of those, they maintained the advantage in just one. The team’s most recent defeat comes on the heels of their trip to Auxerre, where they lost 1-0. Montpellier typically lines up in a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on a structured build-up play, with their attack led by Othmane Maamma, Nicolas Pays, and Tanguy Coulibaly. Central to their midfield is Téji Savanier, who plays a crucial role in orchestrating offensive moves. Several players, including Christopher Jullien and Issiaga Sylla, remain unavailable due to injuries.
Team analysis: Le Havre
Le Havre finds itself in 16th position with 21 points accumulated through 7 wins, 3 draws, and 17 losses. They last secured a 3-2 victory over Nantes but faced a defeat against Lyon (4-2) prior to that. Interestingly, they have recorded more favourable away results compared to at home, with their last 30 outings yielding 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses on the road, scoring 18 goals while conceding 27. At home, their tally is far less impressive, with just 3 wins, 1 draw, and 11 losses, alongside a meagre 12 goals scored and 38 conceded. In their last 10 away games in the league, Le Havre has only 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, gathering 11 points from a possible 30. In the league, they have frequently ended the first half with a score of 0-0, occurring in 5 of the 14 matches played. Their defence is also suspect, having conceded at least one goal in their last 10 outings, although they have managed to score in 9 of those matches. With 20 of their 27 matches resulting in conceding the first goal, they’ve only turned it around twice during this campaign. Le Havre heads into this fixture following their recent win against Nantes, where the goals came from Abdoulaye Touré (2) and Timothée Pembélé. The team typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, utilising a lower block while thriving on quick counter-attacks, with midfielder Abdoulaye Touré steering the offensive play. Upfront, André Ayew is poised to be a key figure, showcasing his ability to evade defenders. Elysée Logbo will miss this match due to fitness concerns.
