Montpellier – Le Havre Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Montpellier vs Le Havre lineups.

Montpellier

Montpellier enjoyed a solid pre-season and they finished off their preparations with a prestigious 1-1 draw vs Borussia M’gladbach. After a slow start to the previous campaign and much-improved results and displays in the spring Montpellier will be hoping for a much better start to this season. 

Star striker Elye Wahi, who had 17 league goals last season, is the latest elite player to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. Due to that, it’s not certain if he will play at all. 

The other main striker from last season Mavididi already left (joined Leicester) so it seems winger Khazri and the recently recovered from a minor injury Nordin are the main attacking weapons right now. 

The only notable absentee due to an injury is defender Saint-Luce. Montpellier are rich for options in defence though so this is not a major issue. 

Montpellier Predicted Lineup: 

Lecomte (GK), Sacko, Jullien, Kouyate, Sylla, Ferri, Chotard, Al-Tamari, Savanier, Fayad & Khazri

Le Havre

The Dragons won Ligue 2 last season after losing only 3 of their 38 matches. They recorded the most draws in the division though and never scored much. This poor attacking form continued during the pre-season with Le Havre losing all of their last 5 friendlies and failing to score in 3. 

Still, this first game back in the top flight since 2009 is bound to excite the players and they should be working hard for each other. 

The Russian playmaker Daler Kuzyaev has been the main summer signing and he is expected to be the key figure in the middle of the park for the Dragons. The health of the squad is very good too with only the rarely used anyway defender Gomis set to miss injured. 

Le Havre Predicted Lineup: 

Desmas (GK), Lloris, Sangante, Salmier, Operi, Nego, Targhalline, Ndiaye, Kuzyaev, Alioui & Joujou

Player to Watch: Wahbi Khazri

Montpellier’s captain Wahbi Khazri has been very solid all pre-season. With the two main strikers out, or about to leave, Khazri realises that he needs to do even more and he looks ready for the challenge. 

In the last few games almost every forward move has been going through Khazri and we expect him to be heavily involved again now when things start to get serious.
