Montpellier vs Le Havre Prediction
Montpellier are 11 points from safety and are almost guaranteed to be relegated come the end of the season. Their dismal campaign has seen them score just 21 goals all season, although they are unbeaten in 18 head-to-head games they have hosted (11 wins) against Le Havre - the most they have managed against any side without defeat.
Le Havre occupy the relegation playoff spot, one point above 17th-placed Saint-Etienne and two points behind 16th-placed Reims. Didier Digard's side was impressive in March, losing just one game last month. Furthermore, they have scored in each of their last eight league games - their longest scoring streak since the 1994-95 season.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
