Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Montpellier will look to kickstart their Ligue 1 campaign in great manner when they face Le Havre on Sunday afternoon. La Paillade were scoring goals for fun in preseason and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the season opener as well. There are no injury worries in the home team ahead of Matchday 1. New recruit Akor Jerome Adams is widely expected to make his Ligue 1 debut against Les Ciel et Marine.
Le Havre, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their last five warm-up games, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. The club chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Rassoul Ndiaye, Issa Soumare, Daler Kuzyaev, Loic Nego, and Kandet Diawara in the summer transfer window, while Victor Lekhal, Jamal Thiare, Ylan Gomes are no longer parts of the team.
Highlighted Player (Téji Savanier):
Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
