Monaco back in Ligue 1 against Le Havre after UCL win over Barca.
Fresh off a spirited victory against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, Monaco turn their focus to Ligue 1, hosting Le Havre at Stade Louis II in a bid for consecutive domestic triumphs.
Monaco
A 2-1 win over a ten-man Barcelona in the revamped UEFA Champions League's opening round earned Monaco three points in the competition's inaugural league phase. Monaco seized the lead six minutes after a red card, ten minutes into the match, left Barcelona with 10 men. Lamine Yamal restored parity for Barcelona soon after, but George Ilenikhena secured the winner in the second half.
"Winning against Barcelona, one of the best teams in the world, makes us proud," Monaco’s coach Adi Hütter said following the midweek triumph. Now, Monaco will shift their focus to domestic duties, with Le Havre next on their schedule. Currently sitting 3rd with 10 points, they are just two points behind league leaders PSG, having recently defeated Auxerre 3-0.
Monaco, with a record of [WWDW], will be aiming for consecutive victories against a visiting Le Havre side, against whom they have only lost twice in 19 encounters [12W, 5D, 2L]. Nonetheless, they are winless in their three home games against Le Havre in the 21st century, resulting in two draws and one loss [0W, 2D, 1L].
The hosts, who are the joint-best defensive side in Ligue 1 alongside Lens, aim for consecutive clean sheets after conceding just one goal in four league matches. They are expected to line up in a 4—2—3—1 formation, with Embolo leading the attack. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Radosław Majecki will be unavailable for this weekend’s fixture.
Le Havre
Le Havre saw their two-game winning run come to an end after last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Toulouse. The visitors are currently 10th on the table with six points, having recorded two victories sandwiched by defeats (LWWL).
After finishing 15th last season, maintaining their 10th place position after the weekend's game would be considered a significant step forward, even though they're only four days into the season. However, their away performance in Ligue 1 is a concern, with just two wins in 19 away games since their promotion in 2023 (2W, 9D, 8L).
Despite these challenges, Didier Digard is hopeful for a positive result at Stade Louis II against Monaco. He plans to deploy a defensive 5-4-1 formation, with 22-year-old Yassine Kechta set to lead the attack. Meanwhile, Issa Soumaré will be unavailable for this weekend’s encounter.
