Le Havre – Monaco: Can the visitors stop the slump? 
Still hunting their first Ligue 1 win of 2026, Monaco head to the Stade Océane on Saturday. Danger game. Le Havre have their swagger back at home — this won’t be a walk in the park for the visitors.
Le Havre bouncing back 
The end of 2025 left scars, but Le Havre have breathed again since the turn of the year. After a long drought without a win, Didier Digard’s side have steadied the ship.
The draw at Rennes confirmed the revival and keeps the Sky Blues comfortably clear of the drop. Not flashy, but more solid — especially at home.
The Stade Océane has become a bit of a fortress: points taken in six of the last seven league visits. They concede little, stay compact, and have a habit of making Monaco grind for chances.
Against a wobbling opponent, Le Havre have a genuine shot at tightening their grip on survival.
Monaco in trouble 
Nothing’s clicking for Monaco at the start of the year. Sebastian Pocognoli’s men are in a rough patch — heavy defeats, confidence shot to pieces.
The thrashing by Real Madrid in Europe left marks, and the run of losses in the league hasn’t helped. Monaco haven’t won in Ligue 1 for weeks and are slipping down the table.
Away form is worse. They’ve been blunt on the road, struggle to create danger, and the backline has shown worrying holes.
Their record in Normandy isn’t terrible, but right now Monaco arrive with serious questions hanging over them.
Probable line-ups
Le Havre : Mpasi ; Nego, Sangante, Pembele, Zouaoui ; Ndiaye, Seko, Ebonog ; Mambimbi ; Soumare, Quetant
Monaco : Kohn ; Ouattara, Kehrer, Faes, Henrique ; Zakaria, Teze, Golovin ; Akliouche ; Fati, Balogun
Football Prediction Le Havre vs Monaco
Monaco to win
Paper strength still favours Monaco, even if their momentum is fragile. Le Havre are solid at home, but the visitors have more individual quality — and that could tell.
Expect a tight, tense game. Experience might be the deciding factor.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It’s an opinion based on the moment — not a promise. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole match flips.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it might not be. Yes — you can lose. That’s inevitable at some point.
- Play smart. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need for bills. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should be entertainment, not a job or income stream. If it starts to dominate your life, makes you angry or stressed, take a break. If needed, get help from a specialist organisation.
- Ultimately, you’re responsible. Reading our content means you accept the risk is real and never disappears, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: gambling is banned for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Betting can spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need help? Players Info Service: 09 74 75 13 13 (non-premium rate) https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No guarantees from us
Our predictions aren’t contracts. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t claim anything from us if a bet loses.
Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But team sheets change, injuries happen, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
