Filipe Luis debuts as Le Havre target home breakthrough
Both Le Havre and Monaco enter the opening day of the 2026-27 campaign looking to escape the early-season relegation zone and set a positive tone for the year ahead.
Le Havre begin their fourth consecutive season in the top flight following a 2025-26 campaign where they secured 35 points, their highest total since the league moved to a 34-match format. Manager Didier Digard will be desperate to improve a poor home record that saw the side fail to win any of their final five matches at Stade Oceane last term.
Monaco enter a new era under the guidance of former defender Filipe Luis, who makes his European club management debut. After a disappointing seventh-place finish last season and a run of just one win in their final six games, the visitors are under pressure to justify their status as one of the league's heavyweights from the first whistle.
