Le Havre vs AS Monaco Prediction: Le Havre can not be underestimated

Le Havre welcome AS Monaco to the Stade Oceane for the round 12 of the Ligue 1 season. The team have found some stable form lately, after going unbeaten in their last 3 matches in a row. They are coming off a 2-1 win over Toulouse last weekend and confidence is high at the moment as they prepare to take on AS Monaco. AS Monaco will also hope to continue their winning form after last weekend’s win over Stade Brest at home. They were in top form in the 2-0 win and they come into this game searching for another win.

Le Havre

Le Havre are beginning to find some stability after a poor run a couple of weeks back when they lost back-to-back games against LOSC Lille and Olympique Marseille. They played back-to-back draws after that against RC Lens and Metz FC. But in their last match, they beat Toulouse 2-1 away from home. Mohamed Bayo scored a brace in the second half to complete the comeback against Toulouse last weekend.

Le Havre’s record is still very poor as they have won just 1 of their last 5 league games in a row. They drew 2 and lost 2 of the 5 matches. And at the moment, they are in 7th place on the table, with 14 points from 11 league matches. They won 3 matches, drew 5 and lost 3 and their goal difference is -1.

At home, their record is also far from perfect, as they recorded 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw at home this season. It's been almost 10 years since Le Havre played against AS Monaco in a competitive game. AS Monaco won their last meeting by 2 goals to 1 back in 2013.

AS Monaco

AS Monaco got back to winning ways against Stade Brest last weekend by beating them 2-0 at full time. Denis Zakaria and Aleksandr Golovin were both on target in that game to give Monaco a comfortable win. They have now won 4 of their last 5 league games, while they lost 1 game. They won against Olympique Marseille, Stade Reims, Metz FC and then Stade Brest, and then lost to LOSC Lille.

According to the recent rankings, AS Monaco are in 3rd place on the table, having 23 points from 11 matches. Their overall statistics are 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats and their goal difference is 11.

Monaco’s away form this season has been good, as they lost once one of their 5 away league games. They won 2 and drew the other 2 matches. And in their meetings against Le Havre, they won their last meeting back in 2013 and lost the match prior to that.

Head to Head

Le Havre and AS Monaco have played 14 matches against each other. AS Monaco won 9 of the 14, while Le Havre won 2 and they played 3 matches to a draw.

Analysis and Predictions

AS Monaco are in a better position to grab another win here but Le Havre might prove them wrong as they are also beginning to regain their form. Le Havre remain unbeaten in their last 3 matches and AS Monaco have conceded first in 5 of their last 7 matches. All things considered, both sides should match each other on the pitch and this can go either way at full time.
