Fixture Analysis
Montpellier welcome Le Havre to Stade de la Mosson-Mondial 98 in Ligue 1 (matchday 28). Kick-off is Sunday 6 April 2025 at 17:15 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Montpellier stand at 2W 0D 8L — 0.60 PPG. Last five: L L L L L. They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.
Montpellier at home: 2W 2D 6L from their last 10 home games — 0.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Le Havre — last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L W D L W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 2.10. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.
Le Havre's away record over their last 10 away games: 3W 2D 5L (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Form points away from home here. Le Havre's 1.20 PPG return is 0.60 points per game ahead of Montpellier's 0.60 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Montpellier's games and 70% of Le Havre's (from Montpellier's last 10 home games and Le Havre's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Head to Head
The H2H picture is flat: the 3 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Montpellier, 1 for Le Havre and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 3 Nov 2024, ended Montpellier 0–1 Le Havre — a Le Havre win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
In-Play Data
Montpellier trading profile (last 61 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; of the 28 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games); they fail to score in 41% of games.
Le Havre trading profile (last 61 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 63% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 30%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 41% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Montpellier 49% versus Le Havre 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Montpellier 56% | Le Havre 54%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Montpellier 1.42 xG and Le Havre 2.47 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Montpellier attack 0.735 / defence 1.553 | Le Havre attack 1.131 / defence 1.305. League average goals — home 1.483 / away 1.406. Montpellier's attack rating of 0.735 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.42. Le Havre's defence rating of 1.305 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Montpellier's projected output up. Montpellier's defence rating of 1.553 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Le Havre's projected output up. Data: built from Montpellier's last 61 games and Le Havre's last 61.
Result probabilities: Montpellier 21% | Draw 19% | Le Havre 60%. Fair-value odds: Montpellier 4.77 | Draw 5.38 | Le Havre 1.65. The model has a clear lean to Le Havre (60%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS Yes probability 69% | Total xG 3.89. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.89 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 69% — both xG figures (1.42 / 2.47) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Le Havre as the most likely outcome at 60% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.89 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 75% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Montpellier's last 10 home games and Le Havre's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 69% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Montpellier 60% (last 10 home games) | Le Havre 70% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Le Havre beat Montpellier 0-2 at Stade de la Mosson-Mondial 98, Regular Season - 28, in the Ligue 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Montpellier 1.42 xG and Le Havre 2.47 xG, a combined 3.89. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Montpellier fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Montpellier attack 0.73 / defence 1.55 against Le Havre attack 1.13 / defence 1.30, drawn from 61/61 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Montpellier 21% | Draw 19% | Le Havre 60%, with Le Havre to win its most likely call at 60%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 75%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 90% and landed. Over 3.5 was 55% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 69% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Montpellier 56%, Le Havre 54%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Montpellier's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 41% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Le Havre's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Montpellier 0.93 PPG, Le Havre 0.92 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Le Havre win broke the near-deadlock. Montpellier (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.13 scoring average — below par going forward. Le Havre (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.10 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.70 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
