Monaco finished third in the 2024-2025 Ligue 1 season, securing a place in the Champions League. Their pre-season form has been solid, with five wins and two losses in their last ten league matches. They have a strong home record, and under manager Adi Hütter, they have developed a balanced and attacking style of play. They will be looking to their creative midfielders and forwards to control the game and secure a comfortable victory in front of their home fans.
Le Havre, meanwhile, managed to avoid relegation in the last two seasons, finishing 15th on both occasions. They have had a difficult pre-season, failing to win any of their five friendly matches. Despite their struggles, they have shown resilience and will be hoping to capitalize on any mistakes by Monaco. Their defensive vulnerabilities will be a concern against a potent Monaco attack.
