In a surprising turn of events in the French Ligue 1, Le Havre AC defeated Montpellier 2-0 at the Stade de la Mosson-Mondial 98. Yassine Kechta scored early for Le Havre in the 3rd minute, followed by Abdoulaye Touré in the 33rd minute, securing a comfortable lead for the visitors. Despite having more possession (54.3%) and a greater number of total shots (14 compared to Le Havre's 13), Montpellier failed to convert their chances, with their shots on target being effectively saved by Le Havre's goalkeeper. The match ended with Montpellier's Bamo Meïté receiving a red card in stoppage time, further compounding their misery.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Montpellier win, with a 40.5% probability, proving to be incorrect in this instance. This suggests the AI may have overestimated Montpellier's home advantage or underestimated Le Havre's capabilities. Le Havre's victory can be attributed to their clinical finishing and solid defense, effectively thwarting Montpellier's attacking efforts.
Montpellier has been in poor form recently, losing their last six games, including this one. Their upcoming match against Angers, who are also struggling with a similar losing streak, presents an opportunity for both teams to turn their fortunes around, though the recent head-to-head record between Montpellier and Angers does not favor Montpellier. Le Havre, on the other hand, has shown some signs of resilience, with two wins in their last five matches. Their next game against Stade Rennais will be a tough test, considering Rennais' recent form and their historical dominance in head-to-head matchups.
Looking at the previous encounters between these two teams, Le Havre has managed to win their home game against Montpellier in November 2024 (1-0), showcasing their ability to secure victories against them. However, Montpellier had previously demonstrated their superiority by winning 2-0 in March 2024 and drawing 2-2 in August 2023.
