Both clubs come into the match with mixed recent results – Le Havre have drawn, lost and then won their last three league outings, while Monaco have drawn, won and then slipped two successive defeats. The parity in form and the identical xG values suggest neither side will be defensively dominant.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid
Both teams to score – Yes Lost Solid lean Solid · BTTS likelihood

The model assigns a 54.9% chance that both sides will hit the net, driven by recent high‑scoring games and equal expected‑goals of 1.35 each.

Show the maths
Le Havre and Monaco each have an expected‑goals figure of 1.35, meaning the model expects roughly one goal per side. Adding the recent matches – Le Havre’s 2‑0 win and Monaco’s 4‑5 loss – shows both teams have been involved in games with multiple goals. The BTTS model combines these signals and arrives at a 54.9% probability that both will score, which is above the 50% threshold for a confident selection.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Le Havre averaging 1.35 expected goals and Monaco averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Le Havre 1.35, Monaco 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Le Havre 1.35 + Monaco 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Le Havre 1.35 + Monaco 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Le Havre at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Monaco at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Le Havre

DLW

Le Havre’s recent form of D‑L‑W includes a 2‑0 away win over Lorient, demonstrating they can score when the opportunity arises, and a 0‑1 home defeat to Marseille, showing vulnerability at the back. This mix of a clean‑sheet win and a narrow loss underlines their capacity to both score and concede, supporting a BTTS outcome.

Monaco

DWLL

Monaco’s DWLL stretch features a 2‑2 draw away at Toulouse, where both sides scored, and a 4‑5 loss at Strasbourg, a game with nine goals total. These results reveal Monaco’s defensive lapses and continued goal‑scoring threat, reinforcing the expectation that they will find the net while also allowing Le Havre to do the same.

Head-to-Head

In the five recent meetings, three have ended in draws (0‑0, 1‑1, 1‑1) and two were high‑scoring wins for Monaco (3‑1, 3‑1), indicating a history of both sides scoring, especially in the latter fixtures.
