Montpellier - Le Havre predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Le Havre can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Montpellier on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

For the first 45 minutes, it looked as if Montpellier could return from a tough trip with at least a point in the bag. However, the situation changed after the break when Montpellier suffered a blow and ended up losing the game by a single goal margin.

Initially priced at 2.45, the away team’s victory in the previous round caught most of us by surprise. Thanks to the support of their home fans, Le Havre managed to snag an unexpected lead in the first half and eventually recorded a narrow, but exhilarating victory.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Montpellier’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Le Havre lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

It’s already round 28, and the end of the season is dangerously close. This match will be one of Montpellier’s last real shots at getting out of the relegation zone before it’s too late.

Le Havre are fighting hard to avoid getting involved in the relegation battle. Things could easily go south for them, however, if they fail to grab three points in Stade de la Mosson. Truth be told, we’re in for an evenly-contested match but it feels like Le Havre find themselves in a rather precarious situation.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Le Havre carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Montpellier as somewhat more likely to win.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Andy Logbo, Yann Kitala, Yanis Zouaoui have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
