Stade Oceane will be the centre of attention when Le Havre and Monaco face each other in their Ligue 1 opener, with the hosts hoping to produce a major upset. Le Havre defeated Le Mans 1-0 in their final warm-up game and will be eager to carry that momentum into the new campaign. Summer signing Josh Maja is expected to make his Ligue 1 debut, but the hosts have struggled for consistency, winning just one of their last 10 matches. They have also failed to win any of their last four home games.
Monaco, meanwhile, were having their ups and downs during preseason and will be looking for a more convincing start. Centre-back Sadibou Sane and forward Matthis Abline are the most notable additions, while Aladji Bamba, Caio Henrique and Maghnes Akliouche have left the club. The visitors have won four of their last 10 matches, but their away defence is a concern, conceding 2.33 goals per game. Monaco also have a slight H2H advantage, winning three of the eight previous meetings.
As Le Havre have won only one of their last 10 matches, including friendlies, Away Win should be considered, alongside Over 1.5 (75% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (50%).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 16:15.
