Montpellier vs Le Havre Predictions and Tips

We have settled on the following as the best Montpellier vs Le Havre predictions ahead of the Sunday matchday 1 clash:

Match Result Prediction: Montpellier to Win

In the first Montpellier vs Le Havre prediction, we have settled on the hosts to win the game. They are the bookies' favourites with a win probability of 52% given odds of 1.91 at the time of publishing. While Montpellier have had the least number of wins in this matchup, they have had a good pre-season campaign, especially offensively while Le Havre's lack of firepower was manifest in pre-season. The visitors lost their last three pre-season matches, failing to score on three occasions.

Team to Score First: Montpellier to Score First

Another Montpellier vs Le Havre prediction is a bet on the team to open the scoring. Playing the season opener at home means hosts will strive to get off the front foot. With the hosts being the favourites, we think they will also open the lead on matchday against Le Havre's struggling backline.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Montpellier

Another Montpellier vs Le Havre prediction is a bet on the correct score. Le Havre did not score in three of their last four games, leaked a total of 8 goals and scored only two goals in one match during that period. Two of the last three meetings ended 0-0 and the other ended with goals on one end of the pitch.

Montpellier vs Le Havre Preview

Clement Turpin will be in charge when Montpellier takes on Le Havre on the 13th of August. It will be the first meeting in more than ten years. The last meeting was in January 2003, a game that Le Havre played at home and `1-0.

In the last five meetings, Le Havre won 2 and the other three games. So, the question is after more than 10 meetings, will Montepellier get their revenge against a team that always dominated this matchup in the top flight?

Montpellier have the experience in top flight and as the bookies' favourite, they should get the edge here given they kick-off the campaign at home.
