My Prediction
Le Havre by 1Let's slice and dice this Ligue 1 matchup between Montpellier and Le Havre. Put on your thinking caps, football analysts at heart.
In goal for Montpellier, we've got Benjamin Lecomte boasting a brilliant 7.75 rating with a staunch 11 saves. With numbers like that, he should consider opening his own Salvation Army. On Le Havre's side, Mathieu Gorgelin and Arthur Desmas are sharing goalkeeping duties, with Gorgelin standing out with a slightly superior 6.75 rating and 4 saves.
Moving on to the folks who actually put the ball in the net, let's start with Le Havre. We've got Abdoulaye Touré, who's been enjoying a goal rush, netting 4 thus far, alongside Yanis Zouaoui and Issa Soumaré who have performed admirably with ratings above 7. Josué Casimir's also worth a shout. His performance last season's been serving him well on his LinkedIn profile.
Now, let's eye Montpellier's finest gentlemen. No goals to see here so far, but Teji Savanier, Joris Chotard, and Tanguy Coulibaly are holding the fort with commendable performances, each boasting ratings over the 7 threshold. Other notable mentions are Falaye Sacko and Nicolas Pays, but hey, what's in a name when the goal isn't in the net, right?
Let's take a stroll down memory lane with the past matchups. It seems they've been playing a tit-for-tat game, though the last round went to Le Havre with a 1-0 victory. But every game is a new ball game, right?
Looking at the regular season records, you might think you're reading an eye chart at the optometrist's, with Le Havre stating 7-3-17 and Montpellier coming in a bit nearsighted at 4-3-19. Not so healthy, I must say.
Given Le Havre's recent results, they're putting the roller in rollercoaster. An impressive win against Nantes, a good effort against Olympique Lyonnais, and a high-scoring affair against Lens stand out. Montpellier, on the other hand, seem to be having a dry spell, their goal being as elusive as a four-leaf clover.
So, dust off your lucky rabbit's foot and take note of this prediction.
